Church of the Transfiguration, archaeological site in Israel

The Church of the Transfiguration is a place of worship located on Mount Tabor in Israel. The structure features two chapels built symmetrically around a central grotto, with a basilica-style design that reflects early Christian architectural traditions.

The sanctuary was built in the late 1800s when the Catholic Church restored this sacred site. Construction took place at a location where Christian pilgrims had long honored a foundational moment in their faith.

The shrine sits atop a mountain accessible by walking paths that lead upward. Visitors should wear respectful clothing when entering the sacred space.
