Mount Berenice

Also known as Berniki Hill, Mount Berniki, Har Berenice

Mount Berenice — the steep hill immediately above the hot springs at the south end of Tiberias — has been fortified since antiquity. In the Crusader period a small fortification occupied the summit, commanding views over the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan Valley approaches. The hill is named after the Herodian princess Berenice, and archaeological work has uncovered Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader-period remains including a church and ancillary structures. The site is now a partially excavated archaeological park.
