Caesarea Maritima, Roman archaeological site in Caesarea, Israel.

The archaeological complex extends along the Mediterranean coast with a Roman theater, hippodrome, aqueducts, and fortified walls dating from various periods.

King Herod constructed this port city between 25 and 13 BCE, naming it after Caesar Augustus and establishing it as the Roman administrative center.

The site contains structures from Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader periods, including temples, baths, and religious buildings that represent different civilizations.

The national park offers guided tours through ancient ruins, with informational signs in multiple languages and access to restored architectural elements.

Engineers built an artificial harbor using underwater concrete technology, creating one of the largest Mediterranean ports during the Roman period.
