Susita


The remains of the ancient city, Susita is situated on a mountain top surrounded by steep cliffs overlooking Lake Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee). The archaeological excavations are relatively recent and so far the remains of 7 churches have been found on the site . The city was destroyed by a massive earthquake in 749 and was never resettled. The views over the lake towards Tiberius and the surrounding landscapes are amazing.
