biblical sites

Scripture's named places

Biblical sites are locations mentioned in or associated with events from the Bible—places like Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, or Mount Sinai.

The term usually refers to physical places that can be visited today, often destinations for pilgrimage or archaeological study: We toured biblical sites throughout Israel and Jordan.
