The tour ended with the impressive, recently discovered Crusade hall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonio La Rocca, delegate from the PMSP &#8211; Palestinial Municipalities Support Program<\/strong>, was present during the tour. He made the cleaning, research and restoration of this hall possible. Thirty-five metres in length, it is possible to see the historical-artistic stratification of the village from within the hall.\u00a0The words spoken by the Consul-General were of great importnace, underlining how crucial it is to constructively use local resources and heritage which are so abundant and yet hardly recognised by the millions of visitors who come to the Holy Land every year.<\/p>\n<p>In a pleasant end to the tour, the Italian representatives were able to enjoy the hospitality of the Sabastiyan people, visiting the small shop where products made by the women of the village can be purchased, before trying some typical Palestinian dishes &#8211; an unmissable end to their stay in the
