Calvary (Latin: Calvariae, or Calvariae locus) or Golgotha (Biblical Greek: Γολγοθᾶ), derived from Golgolta (Jewish Palestinian Aramaic: גולגולתא), was a site immediately outside Roman Jerusalem's walls where, according to Christianity's four canonical gospels, Jesus was crucified. Since at least the early medieval period, it has been a destination for pilgrimage.
