Description
Jerusalem’s magnificent Pontifical Institute Notre Dame is a towering French cathedral and guest house located across from the Old City’s New Gate. The complex was built in the 1880’s in order to increase the flow of pilgrims to Jerusalem, and was part of an area called the “French Compound”.
The French “Notre Dame,” which means “Our Lady,” is a reference to the Virgin Mary, who is said to have been assumed into heaven in Jerusalem.
