Abstract
The Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth recalls the mystery of the Incarnation and hides the grotto where the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would become the Mother of the Messiah. The event of the Annunciation has been described by St. Luke in his Gospel (Luke 1: 26-38). The modern temple was built in the 1960s and replaced the previous, smaller church. Antonio Barluzzi, Italian architect known in the Holy Land, was originally commissioned to design and build the church. However, his design was not accepted and the temple was erected by another Italian architect, Giovanni Muzio. Despite the scene of the Annunciation significantly influenced both architects, their designs differ not only in their architectural style, but also in theology.
