Dominus Flevit Church is located on Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The meaning of the Church's name is "The cry of the Lord". In this place, according to Christian tradition, Christ cried when he arrived to Jerusalem, predicting the destruction of the Temple, which was indeed destroyed in the year 70 CE. The church was built in 1954 in the shape of a tear, in order to represent Christ's tears. The church stands on the ruins of an earlier church, from the 7th century, of which some mosaics remain until today. Today, the church is held by the Franciscan order.

Burial site of St. Peter. He was not buried in Rome as it would be told, rather at this site in Jerusalem. The evidence to prove this as the site over a site in Rome is quite massive.
