• Ancient Magdala is a well-preserved first-century Jewish town located by the Sea of Galilee. Visitors will walk through the remains of an ancient synagogue, one of the earliest known in the area, where stone benches and a central reading stone can still be seen. The site encompasses a market area, fishing and industrial facilities, along with several ritual baths (mikva’ot) supplied by spring water. Pathways navigate through residential zones, paved streets, and parts of the harbor, providing insight into the everyday life of a lively Galilean community. Next to the archaeological park is the Duc in Altum complex, which includes modern chapels, mosaics, and other exhibits that enhance the ancient remains and offer a contemplative space. • The Church of the Mount of Beatitudes is set on a tranquil hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee, marking the site where Jesus is traditionally believed to have given the Sermon on the Mount. Constructed in the 1930s, this octagonal church symbolizes the eight Beatitudes and features an interior adorned with marble, mosaics, and a tranquil dome that fosters reflection. Visitors will walk through the landscaped gardens and shady paths around the church, designed to showcase views of the lake and the surrounding hills. The viewpoint provides one of the most renowned vistas in the Galilee, allowing visitors to conceptualize the environment of Jesus’ teachings. • Tabgha, located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, is noted for its two significant churches linked to major Gospel themes. The Church of the Multiplication is a modern structure built over a Byzantine site from the 5th century, housing beautifully preserved mosaics, including the iconic bread-and-fish depiction near the altar. A short distance away is the Church of the Primacy of Peter, a simple basalt chapel signifying the traditional site of Jesus’ appearance to his disciples after the Resurrection. The Mensa Christi rock, associated with the meal Jesus shared with them, is also located outside. The calm shoreline allows visitors to experience the landscape much as it was in ancient times. Together, these churches present a combination of archaeology, tradition, and natural beauty, making Tabgha a significant point of interest around the Sea of Galilee. • Capernaum served as a crucial center for Jesus’ ministry. Visitors will examine the ruins of a first-century village, which includes residential buildings, streets, and a synagogue known for its impressive stonework and columns. The site also presents the traditional location of Peter’s house, now marked by a contemporary church with an octagonal structure covering archaeological remnants underneath. Wandering through Capernaum, one can gain a vivid understanding of life in a Galilean town during the first century. The nearby lakeshore and hills offer a picturesque setting, connecting the place's historical and spiritual importance, making it one of the most evocative locations along the Sea of Galilee. • Bethsaida was a key fishing village during the first century and significant to Jesus’ ministry. At the recently excavated site of Bet Habek (Kh. el-‘Araj), situated on the shore of the Sea of Galilee near the Jordan River, visitors will explore remnants of a late 5th–early 6th-century church dedicated to St. Peter, as indicated by a Greek inscription discovered on-site. The site also reveals first-century Roman homes, allowing exploration of the village's historical and religious relevance within the context of Galilean life and early Christianity.
