Close to the famous Church of Holy Sepulchre, is a Russian Orthodox complex known as the Alexander Nevisky Church and Hospice, which often gets side-lined because not many are aware of its significance. The church has some interesting artefacts, and archaeological finds from the time of Christ. Herodian walls and pathways, columns and arches from Hadrian Ceasar's Jerusalem (2nd Cent. AD), remnants of the original Holy Sepulchre Church (4th Cent. AD), and artefacts such as the Eye of Needle, the Judgement Seat etc., are a few to mention.
