Hamat Tiberias, Archaeological site and nature reserve near Sea of Galilee, Israel
The site encompasses 13 square kilometers of protected land featuring ancient thermal springs and archaeological remains along the western shore of Sea of Galilee.
Archaeological excavations between 1920 and 1963 revealed structures dating from the 1st to 8th centuries, including two significant synagogues with preserved foundations.
The Severus Synagogue contains an elaborate mosaic floor from the 4th century displaying a zodiac wheel, Torah shrine, and menorahs with Greek inscriptions.
Visitors can explore the ancient thermal springs, archaeological ruins, and interpretive exhibits while learning about the site's connection to the biblical city of Hammath.
The site maintains 17 natural hot springs that, according to Talmudic sages, received their heat by flowing past the entrance to the underworld.
