К таковым относятся часовни, примыкающие к ротонде Воскресения, колокольня, внутренние дворы, здание патриархата. Далеко не все строения, находящиеся рядом с Храмом Гроба Господня, рассматриваются исследователями в связи с тем, что принадлежат разным христианским конфессиям и сведения о постройках получить затруднительно. Поставленные в данной статье вопросы позволят наглядно увидеть, какие зоны монастырской застройки вокруг Храма Гроба Господня изучены на данный момент, а какие остаются не исследованными.

It is located on a relatively small area, and, despite this, includes a significant complex of structures from different periods. These are the Greek monasteries of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre, St. Charalambos, Abraham, Gethsemane Compound, and the Franciscan monastery, the Coptic monastery of St. Anthony, the Ethiopian monastery of Deir Al-Sultan, etc. Unresolved issues remain in historiography: the issues of the reliability of the location of the Church of the Sepulcher and the existence of the roman temple. The investigation of the problems are obstructed by temporary distant events, heterogeneity, inconsistency and complexity of sources study base, as well as literally perceived myths and legends. The irregular terrain of the ground influenced the architectural appearance of the complex. Reconstruction of the area is quite diverse and contradictory. Additional archaeological excavations at this area might reveal missing elements to restore the architectural history of the monument. Analyzed and systematized in this article is historical and archaeological information, as well as scientific assumptions and reconstructions, devoted to the study of the features of the terrain and the foundations of buildings located on this territory before the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Lavrentyeva E. The Architectural History of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem: the Question of the Periodization of Melchior De Vogüé, in Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 324. Paris: Atlantis Press, 2019, p. 45-48., 2019

At the same time, the opinion was formed that the building passed through four construction stages. This periodization was developed and first proposed by Melchior De Vogüé in 1859. Later, it was developed in the research works of L.-H. Vincent and F.-M. Abel (1914-1922), Ch. Couasnon (1974), V.C. Corbo (1981-1982). However, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has undergone much more destruction and local restoration works, as reported by written sources. The goal of this paper is to get a more complete picture of the shrine history by analyzing the medieval descriptions of it.

THE "STATUS QUO" AT THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE IN JERUSALEM AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ARCHITECTURAL APPEARANCE OF THE CHURCH, 2018
The article discusses the change in architectural appearance of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher ... more The article discusses the change in architectural appearance of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher under the influence of legislative acts regulating the legal status of Christian communities at the Church itself. Despite the fact that a considerable part of the documents were published in the scientific literature, for the first time an attempt is made to consider older documents (beginning with the letter of the Caliph Umar Ahtiname, 638, to the Working Paper prepared be the Secretariat, UNCCP, 1949). The aim of the research is to identify the most significant aspects of the Holy Sepulchre history, the most striking episodes of the intensive struggle between religions for the right to own the shrine, and what influenced the formation of its architectural appearance. The report will also try to reveal the most reliable information about the adobe of Christian monastic communities in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The article provides limited information on the presence of certain confessions, and the main attention is paid to the relationship between the Greeks and the Latins, who made the main contribution to the structure of the Church. Currently, the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem is divided between six Christian denominations: Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox Churches. The main rights to the possession of the shrine and, therefore, to the inner space of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre belong to the Greeks (the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem), the Latins (the Catholic Order of Friars Minor) and Armenians (representatives of the Armenian Apostolic Church), while the Copts, Syrians and Abyssinians use lesser rights. To this day disputes related to the possession of altars and chapels at the Church of the Resurrection are ongoing. The relevance of the study, devoted to the detailed consideration of disputes between Christian communities, as a result of which the appearance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre changed, will allow to determine the degree of preservation of the monument in its original form (4th century).

The Church itself hasn't kept the initial design (4th c.) by reason of the earthquakes, fires or invasions. After 614, there was no century without demolishing. There are different assumptions concerning history of its construction. The aim of the article is systematization of various scholars' opinions of the architectural design of Golgotha during the reign of Constantine the Great. It is consistently shown the use of different study methods caused a divergence of researchers' opinions.
