Really great Very morden beautiful site. Could use a map to explain the site. The staff at the entrance is very nice. I really loved the collection of murale around the exterior wall which were from all the different countries. Seeing the differences in artwork and art style between the different ones was very nice. I managed to listen in on a tour group discussion and theres a lot of info about the site that isnt apparent. It would be cool if there was a pamphlet or something for tourista.

Visiting the Church of the Annunciation was a great experience. The place feels very peaceful and calm, with a spiritual atmosphere that allows you to pause and reflect. A truly beautiful and meaningful place to visit. ✨️😇

At first sight, the Church looks new and not of great interest. But inside the courtyard, you realize it is almost like an open air museum, with beautiful mosaics. Then inside is the surprise, because the ruins of the old Byzantine church can be visited, inside the modern church.

Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Amazing place and a must visit church when you are in Nazareth. People can go in a quiet place inside and pray. There are also a lot of religious artworks displayed outside from different countries. The thing i liked more was the collection of Maria portrait from all over the world. I strongly recommend to visit it and maybe take some pictures at night, because with all the lights on it's amazing.

In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing. The church was established at the site where, according to one tradition, the Annunciation took place. The church has a variety of works of art in different styles from all over the world.

Stunning building and powerful experience. Be sure to explore the unearthed old city behind and connecting to the grotto of Mary’s house.

One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state. If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.
