Much of the ancient city of Capernaum has been excavated.

A viewing center has been built over the house of Peter’s mother-in-law.

A glass floor allows visitors to look down into the home of Peter’s mother-in-law.

Next to the city is a Greek Orthodox Church.

The synagogue where Jesus taught has been excavated. 

It is believed that the synagogue was twice as tall as the remaining walls and pillars.
