The Memorial Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America was designed by the Roman architect Aristide Leonori, and built in 1898-99. The floor plan of the church is the five-fold Crusader Cross of Jerusalem, and it is built in the Byzantine style, after the Hagia Sofia in Constantinople (Istanbul), with some modified Romanesque influences. In this photo you can see the Main Altar in the center of the cross, under a baldacchino, with the entrance to the replica of the Holy Sepulcher in the background. The distance from that entrance to the spot where the photo was taken is the measured distance between Mount Golgota and the Holy Sepulcher in the Holy Land.
