MODERN  TIBERIAS

Upper and lower Tiberias as seen from the Sea of Galilee.
Tiberias lies about 12 miles south of the Jordan River's entrance into the Sea of Galilee.
Tiberias was founded by Herod Antipas in 18 AD and named after the Roman emperor Tiberius.
The combination of a warm climate year round, nearby hot springs for bathing,
and scenic views of the lake and mountains make Tiberias Israel's most popular resort city.
