Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent, Minor basilica on Mount of the Start in Nazareth, Israel.

The Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent is a church on Mount of the Start in Nazareth with Gothic Revival features. Its interior displays high vaults, arches, and colored glass windows from France that filter light throughout the space.

The Salesians opened an orphanage on the site in 1902, before any church existed. Donations gathered from 1905, mainly in France and Belgium, funded construction, which began in 1906 to plans by the French architect Lucien Gauthier. Work stopped during the First World War, when the building served as an Ottoman army camp, and the church was consecrated in 1920. The orphanage became the Don Bosco technical school in 1972.

The Salesians opened an orphanage here in 1902, before the church was built; it operated until 1972. Since then the adjoining three-storey building, with a red-tiled roof and an arcade on the second floor, has housed the Don Bosco Technological School, named after the order's founder Giovanni Bosco and run by the friars. A woodworking workshop of the school operates in the church crypt.

The building sits on a hill and can be reached on foot from the Old City or by local buses. It helps to wear sturdy shoes and visit when the sun is not directly hitting the facade to see the windows better.

The life-size statue of Jesus as an adolescent, made by French sculptor Louis François Boggino and brought to the church in 1911, stands on the second floor behind the main altar. Jesus is shown with flowing hair, a simple robe and a rope belt, holding a cross. Depicting Christ at the age of the pupils was deliberate.
