BACK TO THE PLACES--INDEX

Capernaum was a village in Galilee on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Overview

During the Second Temple period, Capernaum remained a small settlement of farmers and fishermen, with no walls or fortifications. Mentioned by Josephus, it was the center of the preaching of Jesus of Nazareth and the place where Peter lived.

The site was more structurally inhabited starting from the mid 2nd-century BCE and during the Byzantine period, with a Jewish population, including a Christian community. The village declined by the 12-13th centuries CE.

Today, Capernaum is a popular archaeological site. The major attractions are the ruins of the monumental synagogue and of the socalled House of Peter, and the remains of the Sea of Galilee boat.
