Kursi is an archaeological site in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights containing the remains of a Byzantine monastery built around 500 CE. The site is traditionally identified as the location of Jesus' "Miracle of the Swine" and takes its name from a Talmudic settlement. A marble slab with Aramaic text discovered in 2015 suggests that by around 500 CE the settlement housed a Jewish or Judeo-Christian population. Part of the archaeological site is now preserved as an Israeli national park.
