Caesarea was the Roman capital of the area in the time of Herod, Pontius Pilate, Paul, Bar Kochva and Rabbi Akiva.
The center of commerce, revolt and ultimate destruction. Saladin fought here. So did King Louis IX of France.
A short day trip to see the restored ruins and hear the stories.
So how is Caesarea pronounced?

I will pick you up at your hotel and start our day as we drive through Tel Aviv.
We enter the walled city by crossing the dry moat and the double gated tower. We will dedicate the first part of our visit to the history, archaeology and the new visitor center.
Grab a coffee and snack.
We have stepped back in time to the Roman period. We will visit the hipodrome, bath house, public WC, amphitheater and theatre. Fascinating!
What can we learn from looking at a mosaic? A lot!
A short drive through a residential area of new Caesarea and start our journey home.
