Jerusalem: Hospital of St. John, interior (1894 photo)



Jerusalem: Interior of the Hospital of St. John (Bonfils 1894/NYPL Archive)


This 1894 photo by Bonfils shows part of the interior of the two-floored Hospital of St. John. This section shows relatively good preservation of the vaulted chambers on both floors. The Hospital was built in the Crusader period (1099-1181 AD).

Prints of the photographs taken by Bonfils in Jersualem are in the archives of the New York Public Library (NYPL).
