Terra Sancta College features Neoclassical architecture with a central courtyard and multiple wings connected to educational and administrative spaces.

Architect Antonio Barluzzi designed the building in 1926 as Opera Cardinal Ferrari school, which initially enrolled 270 students from different religious backgrounds.

The college functions as the cultural center of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, housing communications departments and Christian Media Center offices.

Located at the intersection of Paris Square, the facility includes paid parking and connects Jerusalem city center with the Rechavia neighborhood.
