St. Peter in Gallicantu

Where Peter wept bitterly — the house of Caiaphas revealed.

About This Holy Site

Built over the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas, this church marks where Jesus was imprisoned and tried before His crucifixion. Ancient steps — the very ones Jesus walked — lead down to the city. A pit prison where Christ may have spent His last night on earth. Here Peter denied his Lord as the cock crowed.
