Facts and practical information

Bethmaus, or Beth Maʿon, was a Jewish village during the late Second Temple and Mishnaic periods, and which was already a ruin when Kitchener visited the site in 1877. It was situated upon the hill, directly north-west of the old city of Tiberias, at a distance of one biblical mile, rising to an elevation of 250 metres above sea-level. It is now incorporated within the modern city bounds of Upper Tiberias. ()
