Controlled by the autonomous Church of Sinai, which is part of the wider Greek Orthodox Church, the monastery became a World Heritage Site in 2002 for its unique importance to the three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. ...

Design The design of the fort is credited to Colonel William Jervois. It is a simple rectangular work, c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
