There are 14 Stations of the Cross along the route, which ends inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. At the Ninth Station of the Cross, a Roman pillar, embedded in the wall to the right and signified by a black disc, marks the site of Jesus' third fall. The entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is seen in the background.
