The following is the statement of the Bordeaux Pilgrim:  “From thence (the Palace of David) as you go out of the wall of Sion walking towards the gate of Neapolis, on the right side below in the valley are walls where the house or Prætorium of Pontius Pilate was:  here our Lord was tried before His Passion.  On the left hand is the little hill (monticulus) of Golgotha, where the Lord was crucified.  About a stone’s throw from thence is a vault (crypta) wherein His body was laid, and rose again on the third day.  There by command of the Emperor Constantine has now been built a Basilica, that is to say, a Church of wondrous beauty, having at the side reservoirs (exceptoria) from which water is raised, and a bath behind in which infants are washed (baptized).”  Neapolis was the name given by Vespasian to the ancient city of Shechem, now Nâbulus:  the “porta Neapolitana” therefore was in the North wall of Sion.
