Latin crosses, Muslim headstones, and Stars of David are found there, reflecting the diverse origins of the soldiers of the 2nd Armored Division.

Very pretty place, nicely designed. Unfortunately, it's overcrowded with tourists. Perhaps a good stop on a hike.

Riding up there by bike was quite strenuous, but the view from the top was worth the effort. It was well worth it.

This church is Romanesque in style (12th or 13th century) and was renovated during the Gothic period. Thus, on one side of the nave, there are semicircular arches and on the other, pointed arches. The bell tower dates from the 18th century. The church has a massed plan. The chevet is flat. The sacristy is attached to the chevet. The square bell tower, topped with an octagonal dome, is located on the south facade. On one side of the nave, there are bays. The portal opens under the bell tower. It is decorated with an ogee arch and a coat of arms.
