Alexandrovskoye Courtyard, also known as the Russian Excavations, is a historic building in the Old City of Jerusalem, owned by the Russian Empire. It is located in close proximity to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, about 70 meters from Golgotha. The complex includes archaeological and architectural elements, such as the Threshold of the Judgment Gate, the home church of Saint Alexander Nevsky, archaeological excavations, a small museum, and other attractions. It was built by the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society in 1896.

The Church of Saint Alexander Nevsky is the most spacious room in the courtyard and is adorned with a wooden carved two-tiered iconostasis. In the narthex of the church, there is a commemorative plaque stating that the church was founded on the site of the remains of a temple built by the holy equal-to-the-apostles Tsar Constantine. The walls of the church are decorated with icons and paintings by N. A. Koshelev, who specifically visited Palestine to create them. The eastern wall behind the altar is decorated with stained glass in the style of Russian Art Nouveau.

Next to the church is a museum that houses items found during excavations: hanging lamps, crosses of various shapes, miniature glass vessels, candlesticks, door locks with lion heads, Arabic coins, and ancient Hebrew-style night lamps. Many clay artifacts, such as lamps, bowls, and pendants, have Coptic origins.

On the first floor of the courtyard is a reception room known as the Tsar's Room, and an office with portraits of Grand Duke Nikolai Alexandrovich, the future Emperor Nicholas II, and the painting "Savior in a Crown of Thorns" by N. A. Koshelev. There are also graphic portraits of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, General M. G. Khripunov, and the manager of the courtyard V. K. Antipov. The second floor contains service rooms, a library, and an archive. On the terrace on the southwest side of the church are chambers for pilgrims. The total area of the courtyard is 1433 m².

The main relic of the courtyard is the Threshold of the Judgment Gate, through which Jesus Christ passed on his way to Golgotha. Among the significant artifacts are the remains of columns and the arch of the Basilica of the Resurrection of the Lord from the time of Constantine the Great, a piece of rock from the vicinity of Jerusalem, placed behind the Threshold of the Judgment Gate, and a part of the column of the Basilica of the Resurrection of the Lord, used as an altar in the center of the Church of Saint Alexander Nevsky.

To the left of the Threshold of the Judgment Gate, in a preserved fragment of the fortress wall, there is a small opening that allowed travelers to enter the city after the gates were closed at night. This passage could be referred to as the eye of a needle.
