In the game

A plain stone crusader church near the northern gate of Jerusalem.

The real place

St Anne's was built by the crusaders around 1138. After Saladin took the city he turned it into a madrasa in 1192, as an inscription over the door still records, and this probably saved it from destruction. It is one of the best preserved crusader churches.

Visiting

The church has remarkable acoustics; visiting groups often sing. The ruins of the Pools of Bethesda are in the same grounds.
