Magdala held a prime position on the Sea of Galilee, just under the slopes of Mt. Arbel. In part because
it was a major fishing port with a ready supply of small boats, Magdala became the headquarters for a
small navy during Israel’s short-lived revolution against Rome about 40 years after Jesus lived.
A mudslide from Arbel covered the village near the end of the first century, leaving it to modern-day
archaeologists to rediscover its secrets.

This is a view from Mt. Ari of the Lower Galilee Area (Jezreel Valley).
