What mountain did Jesus have his last supper?

Location. The Cenacle on Mount Zion, claimed to be the location of the Last Supper and Pentecost. According to later tradition, the Last Supper took place in what is today called The Room of the Last Supper on Mount Zion, just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, and is traditionally known as The Upper Room.



The Last Supper is traditionally believed to have taken place on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, rather than a standalone mountain peak. The site is known as the Cenacle or the Upper Room (Coenaculum), located just outside the walls of the Old City. While "Mount Zion" is geographically more of a hill than a towering mountain, it holds immense religious significance in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. According to the Gospels, Jesus and his disciples gathered in a "large, furnished upper room" to celebrate the Passover before his crucifixion. Today, the Cenacle is a Gothic-style room built by the Crusaders in the 12th century on top of earlier Byzantine structures. It is situated near other major holy sites, including the Dormition Abbey and what is traditionally revered as the Tomb of King David. Visitors to Mount Zion can experience a complex history of architecture and faith, as the room has served as a church, a mosque, and a site of pilgrimage for centuries, symbolizing the "Mother of all Churches" and the birthplace of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost.
