This is a particularly significant place. It is the location where Jesus was held in Caiaphas house the night before he was condemned and outside is the location where Peter denied him three times.

The dungeon under this Church is where Jesus was kept overnight before the Crucifixion. You can walk down into the chamber, They have a nice gift shop but no website or mailorder.
