St. Claire's Convent on Hebron Road

Religious Sites in Jerusalem

The Catholic convent of St. Claire, also called "Santa Clara”, houses nuns from all around the world. St. Claire's Convent is open for short visits and, for those who look for a different lodging experience, as an ascetic Inn that is filled with atmosphere. When at the St. Claire's Convent, which is close to the Sherover Promenade, not far from Hebron Road, it seems that the outside world is far away, perhaps due to the fact that the complex is surrounded by a fairly thick stone wall. The residential area is decorated by a handsome pastoral orchard. The guest rooms themselves contain the minimum. In other words, one should come here for the silence, contemplation and everything in between. Staying over is not possible in the winter.
