Church of the Condemnation and Imposition of the Cross

The church features five white domes sitting on drummed bases with stained glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ.

The original Byzantine-era structure underwent multiple transformations, including conversion to a mosque, before its restoration as a Catholic church in 1904.

Four pink marble pillars support the ceiling, while miniature Corinthian columns frame the altar area where papier-mâché figures illustrate biblical scenes.

Located at the Second Station of the Cross, the church measures 10 meters in length and width, providing space for religious services and pilgrim visits.

Roman period flagstones with distinctive striations, designed to prevent animals from slipping, remain preserved along the western wall of the church.
