In both a religious and secular (government) way

A past event that had great significance, or a big event happened.
The Isralies call Jeruselam holy because they believe God gave it to them during the conquest of Canan (in the end of Exodus, i believe)
Christians have turned an old stable-cave in Bethleham into a holy place because it is believed to be the place where Jesus Christ was born.
As for secular places, Ghettysburg is considered the Mecca for American Civil War fanatics.
Military people in general make a point to visit "The Wall" in Washington DC because it represents the people who died in the Vietnam War.
Packer fans believe Lamboh (sorry for the misspelling) field to be holy, because of the many miracles reported to take place there (although not recently......)
Hope that helps a little.

Holy means, "set apart"
Anything that people feel is important or significant enough to be set apart from other places could be called holy in that sense. It would be a special, revered place.

Only the presence of God - the holy spirit.
