Ethiopian Monastery

Tucked away on the rooftop of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, this atmospheric monastery offers a tranquil escape from the crowds below with its whitewashed walls and intimate courtyard. Ethiopian monks have maintained their peaceful presence here for nearly two centuries, and you'll find their living quarters and a small chapel decorated with sacred icons and religious artifacts. The spiritual atmosphere is palpable, especially during prayer times when melodic chanting echoes through the compound.
