Cremisan, Salesian monastery in Beit Jala, Israel
The Cremisan monastery stands at 850 meters above sea level, featuring stone floors, thick walls, and high arched ceilings with religious decorations.
The monastery, constructed in 1885 on a former Byzantine site from the 7th century, includes a winery that produces 700,000 liters annually.
The monastery complex contains a convent school serving 400 students, including specialized education programs for children with learning disabilities.
The monastery faces access limitations due to the separation barrier, which requires coordination between Israeli and Palestinian authorities for local movement.
The property spans both Israeli and Palestinian territories, with monastery buildings on the Israeli side while agricultural lands remain on the Palestinian side.
