Om
Raske fakta: Dette fransiskanerklosteret har verdens største samling av julekrybber, over 600 stykker. Klosteret har også en miniatyrkopi av den gylne porten, inspirert av de berømte bronseportene til Baptisteriet San Giovanni i Firenze.
Høydepunkter: I klosterets krypt finnes en grotte håndlagt av 500 000 natursteiner fra forskjellige land, som gjenskaper Betlehemskrybben. Hver stein skal være brakt av pilegrimer fra deres hjemland, med jord og stein de tok med seg spesielt.
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.
