Church of the Nativity (Bethlehem)

The core of the building is a 4th- and 6th-century Byzantine basilica over the grotto venerated as Christ's birthplace, but the Crusaders restored, decorated and embellished it extensively during their 12th-century rule. Between 1165 and 1169, wealthy pilgrims and the imperial dynasties of Byzantium and the Latin Kingdom jointly funded the addition of lavish wall mosaics and column paintings of saints; much of this Comnenian and Frankish decoration survives and was restored in the 2010s.
