Settlement HistoryTiberias (Tveria) is an Israeli city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, Lower Galilee, Israel. Established in 20 CE, it was named in honour of the emperor Tiberius.
Tiberias was venerated in Judaism from the middle of the 2nd century CE and since the 16th century has been considered one of Judaism's Four Holy Cities, along with Jerusalem, Hebron and Safed.
It has been known for its hot springs, believed to cure skin and other ailments, for thousands of years.
