Saint Nicholas Monastery, Armenian monastery in Old Jaffa, Israel
The Saint Nicholas Monastery consists of multiple stories with a church and residential quarters facing the Mediterranean Sea near Jaffa harbor.
The monastery provided essential medical aid to Napoleon's troops during their Egyptian campaign, leading Napoleon to present his tent and sword as gifts.
The monastery complex holds regular Armenian religious ceremonies and maintains traditional practices under the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem's supervision.
Visitors can access the monastery through guided walking tours of Old Jaffa, with information displayed in multiple languages at the entrance.
The monastery features a high-level courtyard containing a khachkar, a carved memorial stone characteristic of Armenian ecclesiastical craftsmanship.
