Completed in 1969, the Church of the Annunciation stands where a 1730 era church originally stood. Today's church (basilica) is said to be the largest in the Middle East. The church walls are filled with striking images of the Virgin Mary. Both today's structure and prior structures were built over what is thought to have been the cave home of the Virgin Mary. Remnants of older churches built on the site can be seen during a visit to the lower level.
