Gethsemane, Biblical garden near Mount of Olives, East Jerusalem
The Gethsemane garden spans across a section at the foot of Mount of Olives, containing centuries-old olive trees and stone pathways.
Archaeological excavations revealed the foundations of a Byzantine church and a Second Temple-era ritual bath within the garden's perimeter.
Christian denominations maintain separate sections of the garden, with the Catholic Church of All Nations and Greek Orthodox areas marking different religious interpretations.
Visitors can access the garden through guided tours departing from Jerusalem's Old City, with morning visits recommended to avoid afternoon heat.
Scientific analysis in 2012 determined several olive trees in the garden date back approximately 900 years, placing them among Earth's oldest known specimens.
