Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent, Minor basilica on Mount of the Start in Nazareth, Israel.
The limestone interior of the basilica features Gothic Revival architecture with high vaults, arches, and magnificent stained glass windows from Versailles.
French architect Lucia Gauthier designed the basilica, which was constructed between 1906 and 1923 with substantial financial support from French benefactors.
The basilica houses the École Jésus Adolescent, managed by Salesian priests who have supported orphaned children in Nazareth since the late 1800s.
Visitors can reach the basilica by taking bus 15 from Paulus VI Street or walking 2 kilometers from the Old City of Nazareth.
The stained glass windows incorporate the colors of the French flag, while above the altar stands a representation of Jesus walking through Nazareth hills.
