St. Peter's Church is a Franciscan church in Jaffa, built on the traditional site where the Apostle Peter had his rooftop vision that led to the inclusion of Gentiles in the early Christian church. The current structure dates from the late 19th century, though earlier churches stood here. Visitors can explore the serene interior, which features beautiful stained-glass windows and a striking altar. The church also offers a peaceful courtyard and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Jaffa and the Mediterranean Sea. Its location in the historic Old Jaffa district makes it a key stop for pilgrims and tourists alike.
