Church of Saint Mary of the Latins, Medieval religious site in Old City, Jerusalem.
The Church of Saint Mary of the Latins features stone architecture with distinct eastern and western design elements near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The structure originated in the 11th century when Amalfitan merchants received permission from the local Caliph to build a church and pilgrim hospice.
The church represents the establishment of Latin Christian presence in Jerusalem, marking the beginning of increased European religious influence in the region.
The original church location corresponds to the current site of the German Protestant Church of the Redeemer in the Christian Quarter.
This church preceded the formation of the Knights Hospitaller Order, which began as a modest hospital for pilgrims adjacent to the building.
