It is a road in the old city of Jerusalem where, Jesus walked from the place where he was sentenced to crucifixion to the Golgotha Hill where the sentence was carried out.
The road is called by this name because of the suffering of Jesus when he walked it.
Via Dolorosa begins in the Muslim quarter, north of the Temple Mount, and ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Christian quarter. The road includes 14 stations, at each of which something happened to Jesus on his way.
