Banias is mentioned a few times in the New Testament. Jesus came to the city with his disciples and it is here that St. Peter, the “Apostle of the Apostles”, recognized Jesus as the son of God. Jesus said to St. Peter that he would be the rock on which he would build his church. Jesus gave St. Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and appointed him as his successor.
In the Byzantine era a church was built to commemorate a miracle that Jesus performed
In the 9th century the church was destroyed. Later the Crusaders built a fortress in the Banias. The Muslims suspected that the fortress would be used as a front base to attack Damascus and laid waste to it.
