It is the Promontorium Album (=White Cape) described by Pliny[2] In 1884 Victor Guérin, in "Holy Land, second part", says that this promontory was then called Le Ras el Abyad (Promontorium Album of Pliny), which is exactly the name Maria Valtorta gives it!
Excerpt from the Geographical Dictionary of the Gospel Salton Maria Valtorta, by Jean-François Lavère:The statement, in the "Description", that Jesus makes to his Apostles,[1] as they finish the arduous climb of the Tyre ladders, is a remarkable indication, because it mentions a site known only to a few rare specialists in 1944.
