"Little Jerusalem" is Replica of the Holy Land

By , About.com Guide   January 29, 2012

Follow me on:

Less then an hour from Huntsville, the Ave Maria Grotto near Cullman, Alabama is the ingenious work of Benedictine Monk Brother Joseph Zoetti. The 125 amazingly accurate architectural miniatures of shrines throughout the world are set in a beautiful Alabama hillside and has been nicknamed "Little Jerusalem." This is a great day trip on a nice spring day to walk through the displays and study each one.
