AI overview

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.

Cafarnaúm, Cafarnaún, Cafarnaum o Capernaum (hebreo כְּפַר נָחוּם [Kəfar Nāḥūm], «pueblo de Nahum») era un antiguo poblado pesquero ubicado en la antigua Galilea, en Israel, a orillas del mar de Galilea, también llamado lago Tiberíades o Kineret. Es conocida por los cristianos como «la ciudad de Jesús»; nombrada en el Nuevo Testamento. Fue uno de los lugares elegidos por Jesús de Nazaret para transmitir su mensaje y realizar algunos de sus milagros. Se encuentra a 2,5 km de Tabgha y a 15 km de la ciudad de Tiberíades, en el margen noroeste del lago.
