Hammat Tiberias

South of the city of Tiberias, a suburb developed around a hot spring. The village came to be known as Hammat, today Hammat Tiberias, and it shared much of the same history as Tiberias. Inside the southern gate of the village, excavators have discovered several superimposed synagogues with beautiful mosaic floors. Come and take a look.
