Where New Testament
tradition places the first miracle performed by Jesus Christ. On
top of a hill lies a sacred building known as the Mausoleum of Galilea.
It is believed that it was built on the site of an older temple
because of ancient columns and ashlar blocks scattered around it.
There are also basins where Christ performed his first miracle and
changed water into wine.
Northwest of the village are rock reliefs representing rows of persons
hewn in a very primitive style. One of them represents a group of
thirteen people thought to represent Jesus and his disciples. In
Cana village you can visit the Memorial of the Cana Massacre where
102 people died on a Israeli bombardment in 1996.
