Built over the sites of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, this ancient church is the holiest site in Christianity and a breathtaking layering of Byzantine, Crusader, and later architecture. Multiple Christian denominations share the space, creating a complex, sometimes chaotic atmosphere that is itself historically fascinating. Go early morning to experience the liturgies and avoid the densest tour groups.
