The San Simon Monastery is active to this day, housing a pair of Greek Orthodox monks. It is a popular tour site with Greek religious tour groups.

The site, located on a high point of the southern Jerusalem hills with a commanding view, was the central objective of the Battle of Katamon, 26 April - 2 May, 1948. Bullet and shell marks from the battle can be seen on the walls of the building to this day.
