The exact spot upon which Jesus stood as he was sentenced to death, may have been pinpointed by archaeologists in Jerusalem.
Discovered around 15 years ago, the remains of Herod the Great’s palace have been carefully examined and a place between a gate and uneven stone pavement has been identified as fitting the description of the event in the Gospel of John.
Pilgrims and tourists will be able to visit the Biblical site, because tours are being offered by the Tower of David Museum, which is located nearby.

I thought that Jesus at Herod's court was only described in the Gospel of Luke? And, according to Luke, Herod did not sentence Jesus to death. He sent him back to Pilate. Pilate and the Jewish elders had him sent to Calvary.

Herod the Great was the father of Herod Antipas. Herod the Great ordered the massacre of innocents in an attempt to kill the infant Jesus, but Jesus was not present at the site for sentencing.
Herod Antipas sent Jesus back to Pontius Pilate after mocking him, but did not directly sentence him to death. Jesus was sentenced to death in front of PP.
Nevertheless, it is a significant archeological site.
