It's in St. Mary's Church in Axum, Ethiopia. Then again, it could be somewhere else.

I think the evidence for Axum is pretty strong. The Ethiopioan Orthodox Church's Tradition is that it has possession of the Ark. Moreover, the Ethiopioan Orthodox Church's churches are built in a style reminescent of the Jewish Temple. Finally, the "Keeper of the Ark," the Ethiopioan Orthodox monk charged with caring for the Ark lives the life of an anchorite, tied to St. Mary's Chruch; it's tough to see a person doing such a thing on behalf of a lie, much like it's tough to see a person suffering martyrdom for a lie.
