ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

A must-see destination for many Christian travelers, Capernaum is one of the places most often associated with Jesus. Many of the sites mentioned in the Gospels are found in and around Capernaum National Park.

Anyone raised on spirituals extolling the Jordan River's width and depth will be surprised to find how small a stream it really is. The Jordan enters the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum.
