Cenacle, Religious site on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel

The Cenacle consists of a large rectangular room with Gothic arches, stone columns, and a vaulted ceiling on the second floor of a building.

The room underwent multiple transformations since the 4th century, including periods as a church, Latin abbey, and mosque under Ottoman rule in the 16th century.

The upper floor commemorates the location where Jesus shared the Last Supper and where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles at Pentecost.

The site opens daily for visitors under Israeli management, with separate entrances leading to different sections of the religious complex.

Greek inscriptions discovered in plaster fragments at the location include interpretations of the name of Jesus from early Christian periods.
