Nazareth is one of the most important Christian holy sites in the world, and has long been a special haven for Christian pilgrims.

The city has a unique mixture of European and Middle Eastern ambiance as can be seen in its architecture, which is a combination of Gothic or Neoclassical style with typical Middle Eastern style.
