The St. Peter Memorial Church. The new Memorial upon the traditional House of St. Peter was built by the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land in order to shelter the archaeological remains of the Insula Sacra(the Insula Sacra underwent major changes in the late fourth century A.D. First of all Insula Sacra was set apart from the rest of the village through the construction of an impressive enclosure wall encompassing a perimeter of 112.25 m around the house of Peter. The area enclosed by the wall was roughly square in ground plan and was entered from two doorways respectively near the SW and NW corners of the enclosure wall.). The inside of the memorial church is primarily reserved for religious services. We were allowed a 20 minutes visit inside the memorial church. It is the first time Kevin has gotten a group inside.
