Mount of Beatitudes, Catholic chapel and pilgrimage hill in the Korazim Plateau, Israel

The Mount of Beatitudes is a hill on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, on the southern slopes of the Korazim Plateau between Capernaum and the ruins of ancient Kinneret. Its summit lies about 25 metres below sea level, nearly 200 metres above the lake. The Roman Catholic Franciscan chapel, built in 1937–38 to plans by Antonio Barluzzi, stands on the hilltop: a pale stone building with arched openings, a lighter drum and a dark dome, surrounded by tall trees.

Christians have identified this location since the 4th century as where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, as documented in early written sources. A church was built here later to mark this place of devotion.

The site is also called Mount Eremos, and Christians have commemorated it for more than 1,600 years. The Franciscan chapel was built in 1937–38 to plans by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi. Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass here in March 2000, and the Jesus Trail pilgrimage route links the hill with other sites associated with Jesus' life.

The hill lies on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and the ruins of ancient Kinneret, near Tabgha. Its summit sits about 25 metres below sea level, roughly 200 metres above the lake, making it one of the lowest summits in the world. The Jesus Trail pilgrimage route links it to other sites associated with Jesus.

The hill lies about 25 metres below sea level yet nearly 200 metres above the Sea of Galilee, making it one of the lowest summits in the world. The Byzantine church built lower on the slope in the 4th century stayed in use until the 7th; remains of a cistern and a monastery can still be seen.
