The Church of All Nations, also known as the Basilica of the Agony, is a stunning structure located at the foot of the Mount of Olives, built between 1919 and 1924. Its design incorporates elements of Byzantine architecture, with an impressive façade of stone and dramatic stained-glass windows that filter light into the interior, where visitors can see the Agony of Jesus portrayed in mosaics. Plan to spend some time in quiet reflection, especially at the olive trees in the adjacent garden, which date back to antiquity. The church tends to attract crowds during major religious events, making early morning visits ideal for a more tranquil experience. Nearby, the Mount of Olives offers sweeping views of the Old City.
