Definitely worth of seeing, beautiful gardens around. The Mount of Beatitudes (Hebrew: Har HaOsher ) is a hill in northern Israel where Jesus is believed to have delivered the Sermon on the Mount. A Byzantine church was erected lower down the slope from the current site in the 4th century, and it was used until the 7th century. Remains of a cistern and a monastery are still visible. The current Roman Catholic Franciscan chapel was built in 1937-38 following plans by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi. Pope John Paul II celebrated a Mass at this site in March 2000. The Jesus Trail pilgrimage route connects the Mount to other sites from the life of Jesus. /wiki
