First-century Nazareth Village is the result of years of research and was built using ancient materials and techniques. It is an authentic reconstruction of a Jewish village under Roman occupation set during the Late Hellenistic period.
Nazareth is the hometown of Jesus, where he spent 90% of his life. Its small town setting and agricultural surroundings provided him with the cultural and historical settings of his teachings.
Nazareth Village re-enacts daily life in the first century--a working farm with sheep, goats, and donkeys, an olive press, stone quarries, terraces and vineyards, olive and pomegranate trees and cultivated grain fields.
