Footnote 3 – The Evolution of a Church—Jerusalem’s Holy Sepulchre

Had the foundations of the western apse of the original basilica not been discovered in 1968 by the Greek Community’s architect with the Technical Office, even the emplacement of the huge edifice would not have been exactly known. However, this happy excavation has fixed that emplacement with certitude and has given much greater reliability to Father Coüasnon’s study of Constantine’s basilica which enclosed Golgotha.
