Basilica of the Agony (Church of All Nations): on Jericho Road, facing the Golden Gate. It was designed by the renowned Barluzzi around the Rock of the Agony on which Jesus went down on his knees to pray prior to his arrest.

Theodosius I built a basilica here (4th century) destroyed in 614, it was rebuilt by the Crusaders, then destroyed again by Saladin. Franciscans consecrated the present church in 1924 the small enclosed garden is beautifully kept and forms part of the larger area of Gethsemane.
