The picturesque remains of the Crusader Church (11th to 12th cent AD) of St. Anne (Mother of Virgin Mary) in Beit Guvrin. The Church was built on the foundation of an earlier Byzantine Church (4th to 5th Cent. AD). The church inspired the Arab name for Bet Guvrin, "Sandahanna." (Saint Anna)!
Beautiful pictures of this old church!
