While this quaint little church is nothing too fancy, especially compared to many of the more ornate Holy Land churches, it has its own very special appeal. The ancient structure commemorates where Jesus performed the miracle of feeding five thousand people from just a few loaves and fishes. Inside you will see the rock where Jesus served the masses from, original Byzantine floor mosaics, and other ancient, historical relics. This is a very quiet and holy quiet site with a nice gift shop to boot. This attraction, like several in Galilee, serves as a nice respite from the maddening crowds in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and other more famous places.

Wow, what a great place this is! The archeological site has been professionally and carefully excavated and the remains are simply one of the coolest treasures we saw in the entire Holy Land! We were on a guided tour and learned this was where Jesus lived for a while with the apostle Peter's mother-in-law. The house has been excavated and you can see where He actually sat, prayed, and ate meals. Incredible! The site also includes an excavated Jewish synagogue, so you can get a feel for worship practices of the Jews in those days. This amazing site has a working church, so be aware you may have to vacate that church above “Peter’s mother in law house” during worship services. They also have clean restrooms, a snack bar and a gift shop. All in all, a great place to spend a couple of hours away from the maddening crowds.

Worth seeing! Here, there are remains of a Jewish town mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud. The earliest occupation of Korazim was in the first or second century CE The first excavations were in the early 1900's. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority built a promanade path and installed explanatory signs

Interesting architectural feat to erect a church above the ruins of the ancient home of St. Peter. Through a glass viewing area in the floor of the church above, the visitor can observe a direct view into the home of St. Peter below. Although the church structure is futuristic in design, it does offer the visitor an interesting perspective. Located within Capernaum, this is a definite must see for the Christian pilgrim while touring The Holy Land.

Beautiful sites & church, built to commemorate Jesus preacher on 8 blessings, many roofed garden chapels on the site that can be used for grouped sermons that is possible to be use with reservations, the church itself is so beautifully built by an Italian architect named Antonio Barluzzi, funded by the Fransiscans Ordo of Rome.
