I'm looking back at the Hadassah hospital and medical school complex with heliport in the upper center, while on the lower right is the Franciscan monastery of St. John in the Wilderness (מנזר יוהנאן במדבר) which was built around a grotto in which John the Baptist is believed to have lived and studied. His birthplace, Ein Kerem, lies a short distance behind the hospitals. The monastery has survived many changes. First documented in the 1200s, it is older than that.
