Capernaum SynagogueThis magnificent synagogue made of white limestone was built between the 2nd and 5th centuries, but the precise date remains a subject of debate. It is possible that it was built over the ruins of the Capernaum synagogue in which Jesus preached.
House of St. PeterHere a modern (1990) Franciscan church stands on the site of the House of St. Peter in Capernaum, where Jesus lodged during his Galilee ministry, healed a paralytic, and healed Peter's mother-in-law. The unique spaceship-like church has a glass floor that allows pilgrims to view the ruins below - which archaeologists think may well be the actual house of Peter.
Jesus BoatIn 1986, a wooden boat was pulled from the mud on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. It has been dated to the 1st century AD, making it a very exciting find that brings many Gospel stories to life.

MagdalaThis ruined Roman fishing village on the shores of the Galilee was the hometown of Mary Magdalene.
Tabgha - Church of Loaves and FishesThis modern church (1982) stands on the site of a 5th-century church commemorating the Feeding of the Five Thousand (Mark 6). A stone beneath the altar is traditionally held to be the place where Jesus placed the miraculous meal. The church is also notable for its preservation of the beautiful mosaic floor of the 5th-century church. Depicting flora and fauna of the Nile as well as the Sea of Galilee, this is the earliest known Christian figural pavement in all of Palestine.
Tabgha - Church of Primacy of PeterThis lakeside Franciscan chapel stands on the traditional site where Jesus told Peter to "Feed my sheep" after the miraculous catch of fish and breakfast on the shore.
Mount of BeatitudesOn a small hill, a modern octagonal church commemorates the Sermon on the Mount. The cool and pleasant gardens and view over the Sea of Galilee make this an ideal place for contemplation.
