| Houses of God - Franciscan Monastery | ||||
| About: The official "Commissariat for the Holy Land in the United States", the monastery trains Roman Catholic priests and brothers of the Franciscan order for work in the Middle East. It is located in Brookland near Catholic University and was built in 1899. | Notes: Though the central shrine is as impressive as most cathedrals, the prime sight to see here is the beautiful courtyard and surrounding limestone arcade. | |||
