What a bummer. I have found it but the web page associated with it is down.

edit, and relax, got it again: Church of the Beatitudes Galilee
The Beatitude Monastery is a Roman Catholic church situated on a hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum and Tabgha. The general area of the church is where its believed Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, Christian pilgrims touring the Holy Land have been commemorating the site since the 4th century.
Some very subtle clues there Smeagol, way beyond my pay grade though.

Thought that was blessed are the Cheese makers and all other dairy products. Life of Brian. Have a challenge ready but it is on the computer. Will post when the temperature drops below about 60°C and I can safely get out of the pool.

OK, braving the OAT on the veranda at sunset. Used to pop into here for gas. I bet that Reddo knows it.

Very pedestrian friendly!

Distinct lack of motor vehicles.

It looks like a terminal building, of some sort, but there are no luggage trolleys, that I can see.

Italian correct. Not bus but a bus will go there.

Some good observations. Wonder why so many ladies. I think the photo is taken from a road.

Been there a few times. The giveaway is the pentagon building.

The best seafood I have ever had was in a fisherman's restaurant on the second floor of an administrative building at the old port. I had about 10 yank roughneck types with me. Restaurant was well, unpretentious would be putting it too upmarket. Formica tables, televisions on the wall showing the latest football game and no menus. We pushed a few tables together and I said, 'Bring us to eat'. A truly memorable meal followed.

Travelling through Italy (in August 1979) with a group of workmates, we were booked to stay in the Olivetti training headquarters la Serra Complex (a wonderful ultramodern upmarket 'pension') in Ivrea.
The 'fine-dining' restaurant (we were the only guests) had the maitre d' discuss our choices and, after lengthy negotiations persuaded each of us towards something different.
On reflection, we could have just said 'feed us'.

Did that in Honkers once at a back street restaurant just full of locals. No alcohol just tea. No idea what we had but no ill effects.

Las Ramblas 1972 - went into Los Caracoles with our Flight Observer and ordered the grilled seafood special. A large oval plateful of the most delicious mixture of seafood appeared and I was like a pig in sh*t for the next 30 or 40 minutes. Never eaten anything as good since!

OH everyone!
