If I understand your question correctly, you are asking where is Calvary.

The word 'Calvary' is in the Vulgate, but it is the Latin word for Golgotha, which in the Gospels is the 'place of a skull'.

It is on this hill that our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, was crucified.

Calvary appears as a skull, and more specific the top part of the skull, as testified by the church father Origin in his writing against Marcion in ca. 200 AD.

A spot there is called Golgotha,-of old the fathers' earlier tongue thus called its name, "The skull-pan of a head:" Origin Against Marcion Book II 259.

Here are the requirements fulfilled only by this location testified to by The Bible:

1. Those gathered here could see the temple curtain rip.

2. It was very near a gate outside the city, and all who entered the city could read the inscription.

3. It looks like the skull-pan of a head.

4. It was near the Roman Quarters of the city, the obvious place where crucifixions would take place.

5. It fulfills the requirements as mentioned in Genesis of where Abraham sacrificed his son. He was led to this mount directly by the LORD, fortelling the place where the Messiah would one day be crucified.

And Abraham called the name of that place JHWH Jireh as it is said to this day, In the mount the LORD is seen. Gen 22,14

JHWH Jireh means The LORD sees. Personified by this mount looking like a head, he sees the sacrifices made on the north side of the Altar, before the LORD. These sacrifices within the city limits fortold the special sacrifice ca. 250 meters away outside the city, as fortold in Num 19 (Red Heifer) which also must be sacrificed outside the city. In the same mount the LORD is seen.

Not one of these requirements spoken in the scriptures is fulfilled by the other two alternate locations, the Holy Sepulchre Church or the Garden Tomb.
