How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The domed church in the Christian quarter of Jerusalem.
The real place
Christians venerate it as the site of Jesus' crucifixion and tomb. The church Altaïr saw was largely the crusader rebuilding finished in 1149, which still stands. It is shared by several Christian churches, and the keys have been kept by Muslim families for centuries.
Visiting
Go early in the morning, when the church opens and before the tour groups. Dress modestly.
