Interesting historical site. Capernaum was the centre of Jesus' Galilean ministry after He left Nazareth. Jesus lived here substantially, healing the sick, preaching in the synagogue and performing miracles like delivering a man of unclean spirits, healing the paralytic and Peter's mother-in-law. Capernaum was also the home to Peter, James, Andrew and John and the tax collector Matthew as mentioned in the Gospel.
