Tabgha - The exterior of the Church of the Loaves and the Fishes. Built on the site of a 4th century Byzantine church. The ancient church, already damaged by earthquakes in the sixth century, was completely destroyed a century later. What makes this church one of the sights most frequently visited by tourists is the splendid mosaic decoration. The most praised and best known mosaic is certainly the one which depicts symbolically the miracle after which the church is named: it shows a basket full of loaves between two fishes.
