Monks of the Cluny Abbey founded a monastery. Only about 100 years after the death of Tancred, the construction of the Catholic church began on the site of the fortified chateau of the great knight. Sultan Baibars destroyed it in 1263.
A visit to Mount Tabor is beautiful all year, but in the spring, it is unique. The lush green grass, the thunderclouds, the bright sun, and the fresh wind seem to recreate the miracle of the Transfiguration. The nature reserve of the mountain, ancient history, and the stone ruins of the Crusaders immerses us in a unique cocktail of nature, history, and faith.
Mount Tabor, located in Israel, is an important religious site for Christians, particularly Catholics. Its opening hours are usually 8 AM to 11:45 AM and 2 PM to 5 PM. However, please note that the site may be closed or have different hours during Catholic holidays. Therefore, checking with local authorities or the site manager for the most up-to-date information on opening hours and closures is always best.
