Jerusalem - Coenaculum

Leaving the Tomb of David and turning right into a narrow alley, we pass an arched doorway on the right and come to the steps leading up to the Room of the Last Supper (Coenaculum), which lies above the Room of the Washing of the Feet and the Tomb of David. The room, which was renovated by the Franciscans in the 14th century, measures 10m/33ft by 16m/52ft and has a vaulted roof borne on two Gothic columns. A block of dressed stone opposite the 16th century Muslim prayer niche is said to mark the place where Christ sat at the Last Supper.
