NOTES: Saint Sepulchre, or the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, was founded in AD 326 by Emperor Constantine. The church was augmented in the Romanesque style by the Crusaders during the 12th century and a bell tower added in 1170. This drawing was reproduced in Vogue's publication 'Les Eglises de la Terre-Sainte' of 1860, which was the first systematic account of churches from the Constantinian age to the era of the Crusaders.
