Saint George’s Anglican Cathedral

A brief history

Construction of the cathedral compound began in 1891 under Bishop George Blyth, and the church was consecrated in 1898. Designed by George Jeffery around an English-style quadrangle, the complex became a centre of Anglican diocesan life and hospitality in Jerusalem.

An interesting detail

Its pilgrim guesthouse opened in 1923 in buildings that had previously accommodated clergy and a choir school, adapting the cathedral compound for visitors.
