1. Capharnaum Marker
In Capharnaum the house of the Prince of the Apostles was changed into a church; the original walls, however, are still standing (Etheria, late fourth century AD).
We came to Capharnaum in the house of Saint Peter, which at present is a basilica (Anonimus Placentinus, 587).
Archaeological Excavations: Father Gaudentius Orfali, 1921-1926; Fathers Vigilio C. Corbo and Stanislao Loffreda (1968-1986).
