The place where Jesus was crucified. The first chapel is the Catholic Chapel of the Nailing of the Cross, which is Station 11 on the Via Dolorosa (2P). Just to the left of the altar is a statue of Mary, which is Station 13 (Jesus' body removed from the cross and given to Mary, see 3P).
Adjacent to the Catholic chapel is the Greek Orthodox Calvary, which contains the actual Rock of Calvary (Station 12) around which the church was built. The rock can be seen under glass on either side of the main altar, and beneath the altar there is a hole that allows you to touch the rock itself (1P and 5P).
