Saint Peter’s Church in Jaffa was originally built in 1694, The current structure was finished in 1903. The main altar faces west, perhaps toward the gentiles as opposed to the Jews in Jerusalem, reflecting Peter’s missions to the gentiles.

The church was constructed on its present location because of the significance Jaffa has to Christianity. It was in Jaffa that Saint Peter raised Tabitha, one of Jesus' disciples, from the dead according to the Acts of the Apostles, Acts 9:36-43, Acts 10:1-4. The church is dedicated to him.
