This is an Eastern Orthodox Monastery placed in the Cross Valley, right below the Knesset and the Israel Museum. Built in the eleventh century by the Georgian Giorgi-Prokhore of Shavsheti during the reign of King Bagrat IV, the monastery is currently occupied by monks of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Legend says that the monastery was built on the burial spot of Adam’s head. Heavy debts compelled the Georgians to sell the monastery to the Greeks in 1685.
