Discovering the Palestinian Icons of Jerusalem

[Discovery] We present to you the first discovery tour of Palestinian icons in the Old City of Jerusalem! Organized by the mediation team of the Terra Sancta Museum, this tour makes the Armenian and Greek cathedrals of Jerusalem accessible to the public, and provides a way for visitors of various faiths to understand this sacred heritage.

Welcome to the Terra Sancta Museum

In the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem, the Terra Sancta Museum preserves and promotes the archaeological and artistic heritage of Christianity, a treasure that has been safeguarded by the Franciscans of the Custody of the Holy Land for more than 800 years.

The Terra Sancta Museum project is to have three sections: the multimedia and archaeological sections are in the Monastery of the Flagellation, on the Via Dolorosa, and are already partially open to visitors.

The opening of the historical section, which will be opened in the Monastery of St Savior, is planned for 2025 -2026 and will display the many donations made over the centuries by the Royal Courts of Europe.
