original church, destroyed in 1009 AD, has undergone several restoration programs. It was built by Roman emperor Constantine I in 325 AD. It contains the site of the Crucifixion (Golgotha), the Tomb of Christ (the Holy Sepulchre) and the grotto where St Helena discovered the Cross (known as St Helena's Crypt). The Anastis (Resurrection) Rotunda encloses the tomb. The original building was magnificently decorated with marble walls contrasting sharply with the gilded coffered ceiling.
