The summit of the Carmel, or the Star of the Sea, has been held sacred since ancient times. The main site here is the Carmelite Monastery, whose construction had started at the end of the 18th century. Under the monastery's church there is a cave which is important in both Christian and Jewish traditions, that identifies it as the grave of Elijah/Elisha the Prophet.
