| Banias, located at the foot of Mt. Herman in the Golan
Heights was once named Caesarea Phillipi by Philip the Tetrarch in 2
BCE. It was here that Jesus asked, "Who do people say the Son of
Man is?" (Matthew 16:13-20). The headwaters of the Jordan River are found in Banias. 5 grottos in the hillside are the remains of a shrine to the god Pan, and there is also the remains of a temple built by Herod. |
