The Golan is an extensive area that borders with the Galilee in the West and Syria in the East. Lebanon in the North and Jordan in the South. In the 1967 War, when those countries (plus Egypt) tried to invade Israel, the Golan was back to Israel.
Many sites can be seeing at Golan. Cesarea of Philipi (Banias) is where Jesus asked His disciples who He was (Matthew 16). Peter's answer was the right one: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16 NAS95)
