Top picture: This is at "The Garden Tomb", one of the tombs in Jerusalem where Jesus is said to be buried. There are a few of these alleged burial places of Jesus in the city. The doorway is widened for tourists. Traditional doorways are half a man's height, and you have to stoop to go in.
Second picture: The reason why people think this is the burial site. It's near a cliff face which looks like a skull -- Golgotha is known as the "Place of the Skull" (Matt 27:33). This is an old picture. Due to erosion, the present-day cliff face doesn't look so skull-like anymore.
