6P: The mosaic in the apse depicts St: Peter in a boat. The words, 'portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam' (Latin) is taken from Matthew 16:18, which is translated in KJV as 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against it'.
8P: Monument to the Virgin of Czestochowa- built in 1945 by Polish soldiers of the Third Army (who fought here in World War II) in memory of their stay in the Casa Nova of Tiberias. Casa Nova was a hostel built in 1903 for pilgrims visiting Holy Land and still functions.
