Domus Galilaeae is a modern Catholic retreat center perched on the Mount of Beatitudes, overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Built in 1999, it serves as a spiritual retreat venue and houses a striking chapel with a large mosaic of the Beatitudes. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful gardens and terraces that offer sweeping views of the lake and surrounding hills. The site is less crowded than the nearby Church of the Beatitudes, providing a quiet space for reflection.
