The Church of St. Peter was founded by the Crusaders. She inherited the founding of a Muslim mosque. Later, again converted to a mosque, the building expanded and became the basis for the construction of an inn under Turkish rule. At the end of the 19th century, the church was built again. The architectural plan of the church and its decoration widely uses the motive of the boat as a symbol of early Christianity. It is to the fishermen on the lake that Jesus comes, and among them calls Peter (Simeon). In 1833, a statue of Peter was installed in the courtyard, which is a copy of the statue of Peter, located in the cathedral of Peter in the Vatican. Also in the courtyard you can see a memorial tablet dedicated to Polish soldiers in the Anders corps - in fact, the Polish army during the Second World War, formed in the USSR and withdrawn by the British, first to Iran and then partially to Palestine.
