Tabgha, Religious district at Sea of Galilee, Israel

Located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Tabgha contains seven natural springs that feed into the surrounding agricultural landscape.

The area gained recognition in the 4th century when Joseph of Tiberias constructed the first Church of the Multiplication to commemorate biblical events.

The Church of the Multiplication houses ancient mosaics from the 4th century that depict detailed representations of fish and bread motifs.

Visitors can reach Tabgha through regular bus services from Tiberias, with multiple accommodations available within 5 kilometers of the religious sites.

The Ein-Nur spring in Tabgha hosts the Typhlocaris galilea, a rare blind shrimp species that exists exclusively in this sulfuric water environment.
