Caiaphas' House - Church of St. Peter of Gallicantu

This is a very possible site of Caiaphas' House, where Jesus was brought from the Garden of Gethsemane.  The pic above is from the corner of the house looking East/North East.  The white mass on the far hillside is the  Mount of Olives and to the left you see the Dome of the Rock and the Temple Mount...the Kidron Valley running between them.  In the bottom of the valley is where the Garden of Gethsemane is.  The road you see in the foreground, coming up from the valley is a 1st century road that Jesus would have walked on.

The pic above is a statue outside this church representing when Peter denied Jesus and the cock crowing.
