Bethsaida, Archaeological site in Golan Heights, Israel.
The remains of this ancient settlement extend over 400 meters in length and 200 meters in width near the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Philip the Tetrarch transformed this fishing village into a Roman city named Julias in 30 CE to honor Emperor Augustus's daughter Julia.
The location holds biblical significance as the residence of apostles Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Philip, who were fishermen in the Sea of Galilee.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed fishing equipment, public buildings, and coins dating from 143 BCE through the Roman period.
A Byzantine mosaic discovered in 2022 contains a Greek inscription referencing Saint Peter, supporting the identification of the archaeological site.
