We went to the birthplace of Mary Magdalane, Magdala, today but it turned out that the chapel of Duc in Altem was closed for Christmas.  It is a magnificent chapel and is meant to be a place of contemplation, but since it was closed we concentrated on the ancient synagogue they unearthed, the houses of the high priests, the drainage system, and all kinds of archeology. 

The stone, that perfectly imitates the original temple, was made, our guide Sara said, by someone who was actually in that temple, so it has to be somewhere before or during the time of Jesus. 

It’s really worth seeing:
