Abu Ghosh is the home of a well preserved Crusader church. Built by the Order of St. John (the Hospitallers), the church is located where the Crusaders believed the New Testament village of Emmaus to be located. We now know that Emmaus is further east (you can also visit it in the Virtual World Project).
While you visit the church, make sure to inspect its many well-preserved paintings on the church walls.
