Capernaum (Kfar Nahum)

On the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum was once a busy fishing village and an important centre of early Christianity.

Walk among the remains of its ancient synagogue, homes, streets, and churches. The setting makes it easy to connect the site with the wider Galilee landscape of lakeshore villages, fishing, agriculture, and religious life in the first century.

The story of Capernaum begins in an ordinary village, showing how the teachings and events that became central to Christianity unfolded among fishermen, families, traders, and synagogue communities on the lakeshore.
