Archaeology


Excavations of the Muristan were conducted around the start of the 20th century, and showed that the Hospitaller complex occupied an about square area measuring 160 yards east-west and 143 yards north-south. In the early decades of the twentieth century little was left of the original buildings. The remains planned the Church of Mar Hanna, a series of arches on David Street, and the maintained of the north door of the Hospitaller's church of St. Mary Latina, which were incorporated into the sophisticated Church of the Redeemer. What keeps of the hospital today is a modern memorial situated in a small recess barred from the street with an iron gate and an enclosed yard.

The "Durch die Zeiten" lit. "Across Time" archaeological park opened in November 2012, located below the nave of the Church of the Redeemer provides the possibility to commit more than 2000 years of history of the city of Jerusalem by walking through it.
