Alexander's Court, Russian Orthodox church and monastery in Old City, Jerusalem, Israel
The Alexander's Court includes both a church and monastery complex with Byzantine stone architecture and traditional Russian Orthodox design elements at its location near Jerusalem's Christian Quarter.
The Russian government purchased the land in 1859, leading to construction in 1896 under Emperor Alexander III through the Palestinian-Russian Association's development initiatives.
The compound functions as a center for Russian Orthodox religious practices in Jerusalem, featuring services, accommodations for pilgrims, and traditional religious art displays.
The site remains open to visitors six days per week, excluding Sundays, with access through a rectangular corridor where entrance tickets are obtained.
Archaeological excavations at Alexander's Court revealed ancient ruins, including the first-century Bab Al-Hukm door and remains from Emperor Hadrian's period.
