According to Christian tradition, it is believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary spent her last years on Earth. This small stone house, nestled on a wooded hillside, is believed to have been discovered in the 19th century based on the visions of a German nun, Anne Catherine Emmerich. It has since become a place of veneration for both Christians and Muslims, drawing visitors seeking spiritual solace. The site features a simple chapel where visitors can offer prayers and reflect on the significance of Mary's connection to the early Christian faith.
