Gamla
This city was significant during the First Jewish Revolt as it was one of the cities that the Romans besieged and destroyed. It is also significant because it is "a city set on a hill that cannot be hid", one of those cities Christ referred to in his teachings because you can see it from the Mount of Beatitudes. We basically just got to explore for a while. And then we finished in the synagogue that Christ is very likely to have taught in.
When you look at it, you wonder, "why in the world would anyone ever build a city out here??" It's in the middle of nowhere!
We did a "jogging tour" through Kursi which is also known as piggy hill. This is where it was thought that Christ put the devils into the swine and they ran off the hill and into the sea!
