Tiberias, Ancient city on the Sea of Galilee, Israel.
The city extends along the western shore of the Sea of Galilee at 200 meters below sea level, with thermal springs scattered throughout its territory.
Herod Antipas established Tiberias in 20 CE, naming it after Emperor Tiberius, and the city became a central Jewish learning center after Jerusalem's destruction.
The tombs of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes and Maimonides stand as principal pilgrimage destinations within the stone walls of the old Jewish quarter.
The promenade near the harbor contains multiple restaurants serving fresh fish from the Sea of Galilee and provides direct access to water activities.
The underground springs maintain a constant temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, supplying water to multiple thermal spas throughout the year.
