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.

Cafàrnao (in ebraico כפר נחום - Kefar Nahum che significa letteralmente: villaggio di Nahum) è un'antica città della Galilea, situata sulle rive nord-occidentali del lago di Tiberiade, in Israele. Secondo i Vangeli, Gesù vi abitò dopo aver lasciato Nazareth (Matteo 4,12-17): qui iniziò la sua predicazione e vi compì numerosi miracoli.
