"Golgotha" was the name of the place where Jesus was crucified. Its name comes from an Aramaic word that means "Skull" or "Place of the Skull."

* Golgotha was located outside the city walls of Jerusalem, somewhere nearby. It was perhaps located on a slope of the Mount of Olives.

|
|
|
|
* In some older English versions of the Bible, Golgotha is translated as "Calvary," which comes from the Latin word for "skull."
