Introduction
1. We are about to descend beneath the streets of Jerusalem into one of the most dramatic and mysterious places connected with the final hours of Jesus. It's known as the Lithostrotos, which means "Stone Pavement." It's believed by some to be the very place Jesus was tried by Pontius Pilate and condemned to crucifixion. We'll see what the evidence shows about this later. It's located beneath the Sisters of Sion, near the Ecce Homo Arch on the Via Dolorosa.
2. Here, hidden below the noise of the Old City, massive stone pavements, ancient cisterns, Roman arches, and the great Struthion Pool reveal layers of history buried beneath our feet.
3. For centuries, pilgrims believed this was the very place where Pontius Pilate judged Jesus and presented Him to the crowd with the words, “Behold the Man.”
4. Is this where Jesus was tried and condemned to crucifixion? Was this where the Antonia Fortress was located? What was this area like during Jesus' time and afterward? And what about the Ecce Homo Arch? This area, just north of the Temple Mount, is vital to understand. It's one of the most important sites in Jerusalem. We'll provide you with an understanding of this area so you can appreciate its vital importance. We'll embark on an effort to uncover the fascinating evidence about the layout of this area in ancient Jerusalem.
5. As we walk on these ancient stones through these tunnels and rooms, we'll discover a story that is fascinating. We'll see a place where faith, tradition, Roman power, and archaeology all meet in the heart of Jerusalem.

Location
1. The area we're going to focus on is located just outside the Temple Mount area on its northwestern side.
2. Today, Umariya Elementary School and the Sisters of Zion Convent lie atop much of their ruins.
3. We'll look at the key sites in this area and then descend under the Convent of the Sisters of Zion.
4. Tradition places the Antonia Fortress as the beginning point of the Via Dolorosa, which means the painful path.
