The Church of All Nations at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem was designed by Antonio Barluzzi. The article names no client, but donations came from many countries and the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land holds the church in trust. The infobox lists completion and consecration in June 1924. The text says construction ran from 1919 to 1924, with work on the current basilica from April 19, 1922 to June 1924.
The infobox says Neo-Byzantine, but the text describes a Neoclassical look. The church uses Lifta stone inside, rose-colored Bethlehem stone outside, violet-dyed alabaster windows and a deep blue painted ceiling. Six columns divide the interior into three aisles. It gives no dimensions.
A December 2020 arson attack caused little damage. It is a Catholic church and minor basilica, and its garden open altar is used by many Christian denominations. The article gives no hours.
