Resurrection Church, Abu Ghosh, Crusader church in Abu Ghosh, Israel.
The Resurrection Church stands on the foundations of a Roman fortress, featuring late Romanesque architecture with thick stone walls and vaulted ceilings.
The Knights Hospitaller constructed this church in 1140 as part of their military complex, identifying the location as the biblical site of Emmaus.
The church walls display 12th-century frescoes painted in Byzantine style, representing religious scenes that underwent restoration between 1995 and 2001.
Visitors can access the church daily except Sundays and religious holidays, with guided tours available through the resident Benedictine monks.
The church contains a two-level crypt built above an ancient spring, which continues to flow through the lower chamber of the building.
