Run by an ecumenical NGO, this recreation of a 1st-century Galilean farmstead is great at helping visitors imagine Nazareth and its economic life in the time of Jesus. The wine press and vineyard terraces are authentically ancient, but everything else – the threshing floor, the burial cave, the olive press, the carpenter’s and weaver’s studios, the synagogue – are recreations that accurately portray 1st-century life. Crafts are demonstrated by actors and volunteers in period costume.
Call ahead to find out when guided tours (1¼ hours), available in nine languages, are scheduled.
