The Mount of the Beatitudes (Mount Nahum) is 125 metres above sea level. Jesus said here the famous preaching: " Blessed the poor… "reported by Matthew and Luc. On the site, a neo-Renaissance church was built in 1938. It is lined with a octagonal cylinder, recalling the Eight Beatitudes, and a dome drawn above the main chapel. Around the altar, the shrine is surrounded from a ambulatory to the arches outdoors. The site is managed by the Franciscan sisters Missionaries of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, say also Missionaries of Egypt.
