Capernaum - Israel

Capernaum is on the site of an ancient settlement on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee, about 4 km south west of the mouth of the Jordan River. The location of the village of Nahum, according to Jewish tradition, named after the Prophet Nahum.

Christian tradition associates this with the birth place of Petrus and the home of Jesus for a period where he preached and performed miracles. Contains the remains of a Jewish synagogue from the 3rd century, apparently built on the ruins of a former synagogue where, according to Christian belief, Jesus preached.
