Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Also known as Church of the Resurrection, Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, Ecclesia Sancti Sepulchri

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre — the holiest site in Christianity — was the spiritual heart of the Crusader kingdom. The church standing today is largely the Crusader building consecrated on 15 July 1149, the fiftieth anniversary of the capture of Jerusalem. The Crusaders unified the separate Byzantine chapels into a single Romanesque cathedral with a grand entrance facade, a bell tower, a dome over the rotunda, and a choir above the crypt of St Helena. It was here that the kings of Jerusalem were crowned and buried. The building remains in continuous use and is shared by six Christian denominations.
