Across from the main entrance to the Tower of David and just a few minutes walk from Jaffa Street, you will find the Church of Christ,. The church has several noteworthy aspects including its magical garden, museum, and library. One of the unique aspects of the library is the books that are hand written by the priests. After exploring the church you can sit in the garden and have an inexpensive cup of coffee in the small restaurant. The experience is particularly pleasant on a sunny day when the charm of the garden comes to life. The church also has a simple and clean guest house.
