One of the most holy site in Jerusalem. The present structure was built over the ruins of the Byzantine church said to be the place where the Mother of Jesus, Mary breathe her last. A beautiful architectural work. There is the statue of Mother Mary's laid to rest believed to be at the very place where she passed away. Peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. A must visit place.

Dormition Abbey was such a Beautiful and Somber Place to Visit. The Place where Jesus Christ 🙏 had his Last Supper. The Holy Ground where he walked. My Thoughts inside this Abbey were Surreal and Peaceful. A must see Location for All.

A must see place in the old city, it was built on Byzantine ruins and its believed where virgin Mary has died... I attended the midnight mass 24th Dec 22 in that abbey and it was one of the most beautiful masses I've ever attended in that place. That Catholic complex belongs to Benedictine order in mount zion, you can never miss in Jerusalem.

Dormition Abbey is an important attraction for Christian visitors to Jerusalem that is located at Mount Zion just outside Zion Gate of the Old City. This church is identified as being built at the location for the Virgin Mary's death bed. Opening hours are 9-5.30pm (Mon-Sat) and 11.30-5.30pm (Sun). Historically there have been church and monastery buildings upon this location since the early 5th century. However, the present building was constructed between 1900-1910. It is circular with a conical centre dome with four smaller corner tower domes. It is made of white sandstone like many other buildings in Jerusalem. The interior is large, circular and lined with small niches with altars and mosaic images of Christ and Mary. Equally attractive and important is the crypt below the main nave. Here there is a statue figure of a resting Mary, signifying this as the place she last went to sleep and met her death. The crypt has more attractive mosaic artworks along the walls. These are very much worth viewing. Overall, the Dormition Abbey is a fine attraction and perhaps the most interesting of those located at Mt. Zion. In addition to its significance to Christians, the mosaics artworks are beautiful and moving.

Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary of the finest churches and mission Christians and the construction of engineering and wonderful historical. And also to the Jews where the tomb of the prophet David, the Psalmist, and also the last supper room, where the disciples met with the Lord Jesus Christ in the house of Markus, and in the same place, the Moslems built a mosque on all these Jewish Christian monuments. This place is very important in history, so many stories deserve to be discovered.

I really enjoyed visiting Dormition Abbey, it’s marked as the spot where Mary, mother of Jesus, died. The building itself is so beautiful and big, I wanted to enter and see it’s interior but it was closed and I was told that it’ll open in 2 months. It is also located next to last supper room according to christianity. It’s totally recommended while you’re in Jerusalem.

Absolutely beautiful Church on my Zion. The Crypt is beautifully done. Spotlessly clean and a absolutely beautiful bathrooms. 5 stars.

For Christian important place. Who loves Mosaics definitely place to go. Don't forget to go down to the crypt. Above Mary Mosaics of all the important women in Hebrew and Christian Bible. Groups comming in an out. Wait for the Moment you are alone. Sing, it is an amazing acustic. If you go to the public toilet you will see left overs from the Byzantine church. It was enormous!

I feel like this is more of a tourist Church other than a real one. the place look nice but you always get the feeling like they're just trying to say stuff you will agree with other than saying they're actual belief. the place is beautiful also the bathroom there cost money to enter...

Closed for renovation works. As of June 2022, the church has been closed for works for over three months and will probably continue so for a few more months at least.

Mary the mother of Jesus is resting in this place. Just a few meters away from the tomb of David the King of Israel. Also the room of the last supper is a few steps away. Great connection. Al this places are in a special place, the Mount of Zion. I believe Jesus loves the Mount of Zion

Beautiful church. The staff there aren’t particularly welcoming however.

This is a place where Maria go to heaven, nice and solemn place.

An amazing place! So beautiful inside, so much history..

Very beautiful place. Must visit during winter time

I loved this church! Visited in 2017 and wanted to return. ALL CLOSED UP!! I wish they would post this so that I wouldn't have wasted my time and effort to return. Even missed a day of my tour to stay in Jerusalem. Disappointed.
