Magdala

The fishing village of Magdala was the hometown of Mary Magdalene. Prior to the construction of the Magdala Hotel, in 1984, an archeological survey revealed the remains of a first century synagogue. Further digs uncovered a road that had been barricaded to prevent the advance of the Roman army (a.d. 78-80), a fish market, and a mikvah. The Magdala Hotel, which we're staying in, was relocated slightly and now sits adjacent to the archeological dig site.もっと詳しく
