Chapel of the Ascension

Perched at the summit of the Mount of Olives, the Chapel of the Ascension marks the place where, according to Christian belief, Jesus ascended to heaven. The site’s main highlight is a stone slab bearing an imprint believed to be the footprint of Jesus. Adjacent to this, a centuries-old mosque stands, built after the Crusader period. Today, the site attracts both pilgrims and tourists, offering a blend of historical and spiritual significance. Visitors can explore the chapel and mosque, as well as enjoy sweeping views of Jerusalem from this elevated vantage point.
