The 12th century Saint James Cathedral is only open during afternoon mass (from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm) and it is the opportunity to be initiated in the wonderful Armenian liturgy. The Cathedral contains the shrine and tomb of David and a Gothic hall built inside the Franciscan monastery in which, according to tradition, the Last Supper took place. The venue also holds the tomb of the second Hebrew king.
