Mount of Beatitudes

The Mount of Beatitudes (Hebrew: הר האושר, Har HaOsher) is a hill in northern Israel, in the Korazim Plateau.

The site known as the Mount of Beatitudes is on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and the archeological site of Tel Kinrot, covered by the ruins of ancient Kinneret (also known as Ginosar and Gennesaret), on the southern slopes of the Korazim Plateau.

[1] This site, very near Tabgha and also known as Mount Eremos,[2] has been commemorated for more than 1600 years.

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.
