Description:

The Church of St. Joseph is located in the Old Town of Nazareth near the Church of the Annunciation. It looks simple, made in Romanesque style.

An interesting fact is that according to legend, the church is located on the place where the house of the carpenter Joseph stood and his workshops were located.

Church paintings and frescoes depict scenes from the life of the carpenter Joseph and the Holy Family. Of interest is the cave, which served as the workshop of the carpenter Joseph. You cannot enter it because it is poorly preserved. But thanks to the light at the entrance, you can see the cave inside.

The Church of St. Joseph is of religious and historical value.
