An orange (historical site) sign just inside Jaffa Gate points to Greek Orthodox Patriarchate Road, on which this small museum is located. Along this road, you will pass the residence of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, and many Greek Orthodox community institutions. Here you will see sarcophagi from the Herod Family Tomb along with other finds from Jerusalem, Nazareth, Capernaum, and elsewhere. On display are historic documents, liturgical vestments and vessels, and books, and carved remnants of the tombs of the Crusader kings of Jerusalem. There is a small entrance fee.
