The Ancient Capital of The Galilee Near the City of Nazareth. Tzipori National Park

Sepphoris, known in Hebrew as Tzipori and in Arabic as Saffuriya. Archaeological site located in the central Galilee region of Israel, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north-northwest of Nazareth. Since Late Antiquity, it was believed to be the birthplace of the Mary, mother of Jesus, and the village where Saints Anna and Joachim are often said to have resided, where today a fifth—century basilica is excavated at the site honouring the birth of Mary. Notable structures at the site include a Roman theatre, two early Christian churches, a Crusader fort partly rebuilt by Zahir al-Umar in the 18th century, and over sixty different mosaics dating from the third to the sixth century CE.
