Perched on a rock formation high above the plains below, Mount Nebo holds a monastery with famous mosaics.
The view is not the main attraction of Mount Nebo, though. Its true treasure lies within the building, reconstructed by the Franciscans who bought the place in the 1930s and excavated the ruins of a 6th century church. By the way, the place has been referred to in around 900 BCE. As with other churches of that period (see elsewhere on this site), the church was once full of mosaics, and nowadays it is still possible to see a large number of them.
