Capernaum was the home of Peter and a place out of which Jesus based his ministry early on. We saw the synagogue there, which was made out of limestone - a substance that was not immediately handy, but had to be brought from quite a distance. The other building pictured is modern and made of basalt, the local option that most all other buildings in the archeological remains are made of. The other photo also has items from early times including an early olive press at the front right.
