Church of Saint Peter in Galli canto
The name given to these church records the episode in which Peter denied the Master three times after the crow of the rooster. The actual church consecrated in 1931 and belonging to the Assumptions of Catholic denunciation, rises over the ruins of a preexistent Byzantine basilica. Someone has hypothesized that this was the site of the house of the High Priest Caiaphas, but it has not as of yet been confirmed. What has been brought to light meanwhile, is a beautiful street of steps called the Maccabean Stairs, which in the first century A. D. must have joined Mount Zion to the valley of the Kidron.
