This famous house was built on crusader foundations in 1860 by the legendary Dr. Watson and retains ancient stones from the 12^th century and probably before. In 1948 it was donated to the Order of St. John, who used it as an eye hospital. In 1964 it was turned into a guest house by the Lutheran Church.

 

The Guest House is located in the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem and, stands on the boundaries of the Armenian and Jewish Quarters, it is within walking distance of some of the most sacred shrines of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The maze of lanes and alleys of the Old City Bazaars ( or Souks ) are just 20 metres away.
