Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem
Constructed on what are said to be the sites of Jesus’ crucifixion and tomb in what is now the Christian quarter of Old Jerusalem, the church was originally ordered to be constructed in the early 4th century on the orders of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. It has been rebuilt and repaired several times since.
