House of Virgin Mary,
Paul VI was the first pope to visit this place in the 1960`s. Later, in the 1980`s, during his visit, Pope John-Paul II declared the Shrine of Virgin Mary has a pilgrimage place for Christians. It is also visited by Muslims who recognize Mary as the mother of one of their prophets. Every year, on August 15th a ceremony is organized to commemorate Mary`s Assumption.
