The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also called the Church of the Resurrection, is a fourth century church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is simultaneously the seat of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Catholic Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, and it is regarded as the holiest site in Christianity. It has been an important pilgrimage destination for Christians since the fourth century.
Facts
Building Type Completed YearThe original fourth-century church and rotunda built under Constantine were destroyed in 1009 and rebuilt under Byzantine sponsorship by 1048; the crusaders captured the site in 1099 and made further additions afterward, so 1048 marks the Byzantine reconstruction rather than the very first or the very last building campaign.
