Israel Northern Caesarea
Caesarea, a short drive north of Tel Aviv, is an ancient port city whose construction was initiated in 22 BC by King Herod the Great. Caesarea was a grand city - the first city in the Holy Land which had advanced urban planning down to the last detail! It is located on the white dunes south of the Carmel, and it was chosen to be a deep sea harbor with an artificial breakwater- the largest of its kind in the Mediterranean Sea. The city of Caesarea, named by King Herod after Augustus Caesar who endowed it with the majority of its great public buildings, infrastructure, and monuments, was added to the port and became the capital of Roman and Byzantine Palestine.
The ancient port city of Caesarea is home to a well-preserved archeological park, magnificent views, a beautiful beach, and lovely cafes.
