Church of Petrus in Gallicantu
The Church of “Petrus in gallicantu” (Latin: “Peter of the Crock crow“) on the eastern slope of Mt. Zion, marks by Christian tradition, the place where Jesus was imprisoned when interrogated by the high priest, and denied by Peter (Mark 14:30).
The current church, built in 1924-1931, is constructed over ancient churches and over remains of an estate of a Jew from the Second temple period. The possibility that the estate belonged to a high priest cannot be rules out, nor can it be proven.
