Arch of Ecce Homo, Triumphal arch on Via Dolorosa, Jerusalem, Israel.
The stone structure features a central gateway with a small room containing barred windows positioned above the archway entrance.
Emperor Hadrian constructed this triple-arched gateway around 130-135 AD to mark the eastern entrance of the Roman Forum in Jerusalem.
The arch stands between the second and third stations of the Via Dolorosa, where Christian pilgrims follow the path of Jesus to Calvary.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site beneath the Convent of the Sisters of Zion, which contains sections of the ancient Roman Forum.
Roman soldiers carved game boards into the flagstones of the plaza beneath the arch, including markings known as the King's Game.
