About About the place

The Grotto of Gethsemane is a small cave located on the Mount of Olives, adjacent to the Tomb of the Virgin Mary. It holds deep religious significance for Christians, believed to be a place where Jesus and his disciples gathered, and where he went to pray before his arrest. Some traditions associate it with the betrayal of Judas. The grotto is a simple chapel, maintained by the Franciscans since 1392, and features religious artwork. It's a quiet, contemplative space offering a glimpse into the events surrounding the Last Supper and the Passion of Christ.
