This piece of sacred architecture marked the coming of the new religion to the city that had been, and still is, sacred to both Jews and Christians. Structure rises from a huge platform known as the Noble Enclosure.

I chose this piece because it dominated the skyline of the holy city, and is truly magnificent.
