Magdala Nunayya: A Snapshot of History on the Shores of the Sea of Galilee This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Magdala Nunayya, also known as Magdala of the Fishes, located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The name Magdala is derived from the Aramaic word for 'fish,' reflecting the abundant marine life in these waters. The image portrays a tranquil scene of the lake's edge, with the gentle waves lapping against the shore and the verdant hills of the Galilee region in the background. However, this seemingly idyllic setting holds a complex and layered history. Al-Majdal, a Palestinian Arab village, once stood in this very location. The village, which was identified as the site of Magdala, is now remembered as Magdala Nunayya or Migdal in modern Israeli terminology. Khirbet Medjdel is another name given to the ruins of the ancient village. The village of Al-Majdal was depopulated in the lead-up to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Today, the Israeli municipality of Migdal has expanded into the area, with modern buildings and infrastructure visible in the background of the photograph. This image offers a poignant reminder of the rich history and complex layers of this region, where the past and present intertwine along the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
