Today Golgotha is a Muslim graveyard. Almost nobody visits it, simply because it is not very well known. Every few months a new grave is built there and a procession of people hold a funeral there.

On the website (See Related Link) you can see the side of Golgotha which is not a graveyard. There is also a picture of the side of Golgotha where the graves are, but for the sake of knowing how it looked at the time of Jesus, the graves were removed.

At the base of Golgotha there is the Lion's Gate and a road where thousands of people pass by daily, for the road and the gate are very near the city.

And Pilate wrote an inscription, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This inscription was read by many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. John 19,19-20

What is the literary term of golgotha?

Golgotha is not really a literary term. It is often related to suffering or to the redemption accomplished by Jesus in his death on Golgotha. Since the word Golgotha comes from the Hebrew word 'gulgoleth' and is 'gulgalta' in Aramaic, which mean 'skull', it is related also to death and the dead. To see a picture of Golgotha, the top part of a skull, refer to the link below.
