( October 2014 ) Mount of Beatitudes, seen from Capernaum Roman Catholic chapel at Mount of Beatitudes Mosaic floor beside the church The Mount of Beatitudes ( Hebrew : Har HaOsher הר האושר ) is a hill in northern Israel where Jesus is believed to have delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Contents 1 Location 2 History 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Location The traditional location for the Mount of Beatitudes is on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and Gennesaret ( Ginosar ). Its highest point is 58 metres ( 190 ft ) below sea level, which is approximately 155 metres ( 509 ft ) above the surface of the lake. The actual location of the Sermon on the Mount is not certain, but the present site ( also known as Mount Eremos ) has been commemorated for more than 1600 years. The site is very near Tabgha. Other suggested locations have included the nearby Mount Arbel, or even the Horns of Hattin. History A Byzantine church was erected lower down the slope from the current site in the 4th century, and it was used until the 7th century. Remains of a cistern and a monastery are still visible. The current Roman Catholic Franciscan chapel was built in 1937 - 38 following plans by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi. Pope John Paul II celebrated a Mass at this site in March 2000. The Jesus Trail pilgrimage route connects the Mount to other sites from the life of Jesus.
