Monastery Saint Claire, Franciscan monastery on Tremor Hill in Nazareth, Israel
The Monastery Saint Claire stands on the southern slope of Tremor Hill, featuring simple architectural elements that emphasize its contemplative nature and spiritual function.
Founded in 1884 by sixteen nuns from Paray-le-Monial in France, the monastery served as a residence for Charles de Foucauld during his spiritual journey in 1897.
The monastery maintains traditions of the Poor Clare order through daily prayers, contemplative practices, and multilingual communication in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and Italian.
Visitors can access the monastery through guided tours and participate in scheduled religious services by contacting the pilgrim information center.
The original location near Paulus HaShishi Street transformed into a special needs school in the 1970s, while the nuns relocated to new facilities on 3105 Street.
