Jerusalem’s Terra Sancta Museum, which displays ancient artefacts excavated by the Franciscan Order over the past 100 years, offers insight into life in the Holy Land.
Inside the new archaeological wing of Jerusalem’s Terra Sancta Museum, a hallway leads visitors past a deep water cistern, then becomes a bridge as it passes over an even deeper and older water cistern, built nearly 1,000 years ago.
Tucked under a Roman Catholic Franciscan monastery within the walls of the ancient Old City, the museum’s location itself is a journey through the past of both Jerusalem and the religious order dedicated to preserving it.
