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.
