Church of All Nations, Minor basilica in Gethsemane, Israel

The Church of All Nations stands at the foot of Mount Olives, featuring twelve domes and violet-blue alabaster windows that filter natural light inside.

The present church, completed in 1924, replaced two previous structures: a Byzantine basilica from the 4th century and a 12th-century Crusader chapel.

The church contains national emblems of twelve different countries in its ceiling, representing the international contributions to its construction.

Visitors can access the church daily from 8:00 AM to noon and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with adjusted winter hours and regular mass services.

The floor preserves sections of an original Byzantine church mosaic under glass panels, integrating ancient elements into the modern structure.
