Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu, Byzantine Revival church on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu features multiple chapels adorned with stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes from the life of Jesus.
Built in 1931 on foundations dating from the 5th century, this church marks the location where Peter denied knowing Jesus three times.
The church serves as a significant pilgrimage destination for Christians who come to reflect upon the biblical account of Peter's denial.
