One of the most deeply moving places Christian groups visit is the church called Galicantu. This site was the location of the palace of the Hight Priest during the Hasmonean period. At the time of the crucifixion of Jesus, it was the official dwelling of Caiaphas. When the soldiers of the priest brought Jesus to trial they brought him up these steps. When Peter stood in the courtyard and denied that he was a Galilean, it was in the courtyard here.
