Franciscan Monastery of St. Anthony
Bedste tid at besøge
Visit in the morning during spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October). The underground grotto and stained glass windows look best when light is abundant. Christmas decorations are at their most splendid, but there are also more visitors during that time.
Budgettips
Free admission, donations welcome. You can have a deep experience with zero budget, but it is recommended to bring some small change for the donation box to support monastery maintenance.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Dette franciskanerkloster huser verdens største samling af julekrybber med over 600 stykker. Klosteret rummer også en miniaturekopi af "Den Gyldne Port", inspireret af de berømte bronzeporte på Baptisteriet San Giovanni i Firenze.
Højdepunkter: I klosterets katakomber ligger en grotte, håndlavet af 500.000 naturlige sten, der forestiller krybben i Betlehem. Hver sten kommer fra et forskelligt land, og det siges, at pilgrimme bragte jord og sten fra deres hjemegne med vilje.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes. The stone floor in the underground grotto is uneven, but it is worth taking your time to explore slowly.
- Pick up a free multilingual guide booklet at the entrance. It is more efficient than looking things up on your phone.
- Do not rush off. The olive trees and rose garden in the courtyard are perfect for sitting quietly for a moment, almost undisturbed.
- Photography is allowed, but the underground grotto is quite dark. It is recommended to bring a camera with a large aperture or use your phone's night mode.
