Magdala<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0a unique Holy Land site with a first century city including a synagogue where the Jewish residents gathered, and where Jesus visited and taught. It is home to the beautiful Duc In Altum<\/em><\/a>, which provides a place for worship, Mass, and prayer, and the Magdala Guesthouse<\/a>, a unique hospitality experience for visitors and pilgrims to the Holy Land.<\/p>\n

The ancient town of Magdala was established in the Hellenistic Period and grew to a thriving fishing village by the time the Romans invaded the Galilee in 67 AD. Situated on the shores of the Lake of Galilee along a major commercial trade route, the Via Maris<\/em>, and on the way from Nazareth to Capernaum, Magdala was an active city filled with fishermen, shopkeepers, and townspeople. Providentially uncovered in 2009, archaeological discoveries indicate the presence of an observant Jewish Community in Magdala, as is evidenced in its First Century Synagogue. This synagogue is one of seven in the world and the best preserved today. In the center of the synagogue archeologists found the Magdala Stone, a discovery they have quoted to be, \u201cone of the most significant finds in the past 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is in Magdala where Jesus likely taught the multitudes and healed the afflicted including a woman who made her hometown famous, Mary Magdalene.<\/p>\n

As archaeologists continued to dig, they discovered an entire first century Jewish town lying just below the surface. With only 10% of the archaeology uncovered, the hometown of Mary Magdalene already provides pilgrims an authentic location to walk where Jesus taught and to connect with the first century life of Jesus\u2019 followers.<\/p>\n
