The Cremisan Monastery is located at the north of Beit Jala and belongs to the Salesian Priests who came from Italy at the end of the 19th century. They bought the land, and in 1882, the Monastery was built in the middle of the beautiful natural landscape. In 1885 a winery was built. In addition, they have a precious theological library and a cultural center for youth. The landscape of Cremisan is rich in agriculture with olive trees, grapes vines, apricot trees, and almond trees.
