Guide
Tower of David Jerusalem Mesuem Guids
The Franciscan monastery of San Saviour dominates a considerable portion of the Christian Quarter in the Old City. Learn about the history of the Franciscan Order from the beginning of the 13th century through the establishment of the Custodia Terrae Sanctae, tending to pilgrims and the holy sites.
Visit the impressive church of the St. Saviour Monastery, the ancient winery that was discovered almost by accident, and the monks’ refectory – and meet a Franciscan monk.
