Capernaum was a small fishing village of about 1,500 people on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee during the 1st century AD, where archaeological digs have uncovered two ancient synagogues built consecutively. The site is significant to Christian tradition as the reputed location of Saint Peter's house, which was later converted into a church during the Byzantine period.

Kafarnaum (auch Kapernaum, hebräisch כְפַר נָחוּם Kfar Naḥūm, arabisch Talḥūm) ist eine archäologische Stätte im Nordbezirk von Israel. Sie befindet sich am nordwestlichen Ufer des Sees Genezaret, etwa 5 km südwestlich der Einmündung des Jordan in den See und 16 km nordwestlich von Tiberias. Kafarnaum war als Schauplatz von Erzählungen des Neuen Testaments in der Spätantike ein christliches Pilgerziel und wurde dies wieder im 20. Jahrhundert. Das Areal der archäologischen Stätte ist etwa 5 ha groß; der westliche Teil ist Eigentum der franziskanischen Kustodie des Heiligen Landes, der Ostteil gehört dem Griechisch-orthodoxen Patriarchat von Jerusalem. Die antike Siedlung wurde im 19. Jahrhundert mit der Ruinenstätte Talḥūm identifiziert. Der heutige Besucher des franziskanischen Geländes findet neben Resten antiker Wohnbebauung eine repräsentative spätantike Synagoge und ein „Haus des Petrus“ vor, letzteres überbaut durch eine moderne römisch-katholische Kirche.
