The St. Peter's Church

The St. Peter's Church is a Franciscan Church situated at the Kdumim Square in the north-western area of the old city of Jaffa. According to the Russian Orthodox tradition, this is the place in which stood the house of Simon, the leather-tanner, where St. Peter stayed when he came to Jaffa. The St. Peter's Church and the Monastery adjacent to it were built on top of an old Crusaders’ citadel. The large and magnificent St. Peter's Church was built in the style of the Baroque in 1888. In St. Peter's Church is a round Crusaders’ tower, and in its courtyard is the statue of King Louis IX of France. The high vaulted ceiling of the St. Peter's Church is supported by massive pillars; its walls are covered with marble, with stained glass windows that were manufactured in Munich, Germany, set in them; and its pulpit is decorated with beautiful floral wood carvings.
