The Holy House of Loreto (Italy)
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13454b.htm

an exerpt:
"The stone on which the original walls of the Santa Casa are built and the mortar used in their construction are not such as are known in the neighbourhood of Loreto. But both stone and mortar are, it is alleged, chemically identical with the materials most commonly found in Nazareth. (4) The Santa Casa does not rest and has never rested upon foundations sunk into the earth where it now stands. The point was formally investigated in 1751 under Benedict XIV. What was then found is therefore fully in accord with the tradition of a building transferred bodily from some more primitive site."

But I'm not sure in which Jerusalem is anymore! Israel? Palestine?

I have heard there is a house in Turkey that was supposed to be hers. She would have moved there with John.
How true it is, I don't know.

I would think the same country she was born in. Most people did not travel very far once they established a home.

If you know, you could give me an answer.

Thanks.
