Deux Annonciations, une ville : de la basilique au puits de Marie

Basilica of the Annunciation: monumental architecture

The basilica designed by Giovanni Muzio and inaugurated in 1969 is one of Nazareth's defining architectural landmarks, with exposed concrete, an octagonal dome and an international collection of Marian mosaics.

St. Gabriel's Church and Mary's Well

A short distance away, Orthodox tradition connects the Annunciation with the spring. The Greek Orthodox church above Mary's Well offers a much more intimate spatial experience than the basilica.

Two traditions, one city

Walking between the two sites is one of the best ways to understand how different Christian traditions tell the same story through architecture, art and urban space.
