Basilica of the Annunciation is Nazareth's monumental modern church above a grotto central to Christian tradition. The basilica combines pilgrimage, contemporary architecture and artworks donated by communities from around the world.
Why go
The basilica combines pilgrimage, contemporary architecture and artworks donated by communities from around the world.
