Cosa vedere al lago di Tiberiade

Sea of Galilee Must-Sees

The Sea of Galilee, the lowest freshwater lake on Earth, is bordered by sites of immense archaeological and religious importance. This region features the ancient fishing village of Capernaum, the ruins of Korazim's black basalt synagogue, and the 5th-century mosaics at the Church of the Multiplication in Tabgha. Visitors can explore Roman-era hot springs at Hamat Tiberias or the baptismal site at Yardenit where the Jordan River exits the lake. These locations showcase the area's history as a center for early Jewish settlements and Christian pilgrimage.
