Via Dolorosa
The traditional route Jesus traveled to His crucifixion, known in Latin as the Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrow), is debated. We know Jesus appeared before the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate. The prefect’s residence was known as the praetorium, which medieval Christian tradition places at a Roman military installation, the Antonia Fortress, situated just outside the northwest corner of the Temple MountGet More Articles—Subscribe Today!

Since many believe that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is really the place where Jesus was buried, could have both the crucifixion and the burial have occurred there in the same location?
I believe the accounts of Matthew, Mark and John. Jesus died at Golgotha which is the place of the skull as Luke says in the nkj or kJ. In latin “Calvary” also means place of the skull. In Jerusalem a hill with a skull is where the Arabs have a bus station near the the Garden tomb as John 20 and 21 say and where many evangelicals believe as this goes with the word of God.
