History

The Nazareth Village is built on agricultural land on the outskirts of Nazareth, where the area’s last remaining first-century wine press was found. The original farm has been restored with the ancient wine press, terraces, irrigation system and stone quarry. In addition, replicas of first-century houses, a synagogue, a watchtower, mikveh and olive presses have been recreated, using the building methods and materials prevalent in first century A.D. Galilee, according to archaeologists.
