Maronite Convent, Catholic church complex in Armenian Quarter of Old City, Jerusalem.
The Maronite Convent contains a two-story stone building with a bell tower, chapel, archbishop residence, and guest accommodations near Jaffa Gate.
The structure originated as a British consul residence in 1851, later served as a German Protestant hospital before Lebanese Maronites acquired it in 1890s.
The chapel represents the only Maronite Catholic worship location in Jerusalem, maintaining Arabic-speaking religious traditions dating from the 5th century.
The Pilgrim's Guesthouse of Saint Maron, operated by nuns from the Congregation of Saint Therese, provides accommodation for visitors to Jerusalem.
The convent functions as the seat of the Maronite Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate, overseeing Jerusalem and Palestine religious administration.
