Caesarea Philippi, Archaeological site in Golan Heights, Israel
The ancient city stands at the base of Mount Hermon, where a limestone cliff contains multiple carved niches for religious statues and dedications.
After Alexander the Great conquered the region in 332 BCE, the city developed into a Hellenistic center with temples dedicated to the god Pan.
The location marks the spiritual intersection of Greek, Roman, and Biblical traditions, including the spot where Peter acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah.
The national park features marked trails leading to the Banias waterfall, archaeological ruins, and the Cave of Pan with its water spring.
The city contains the remains of a palace built by Herod Agrippa II, who renamed the settlement Neronias to honor Emperor Nero in 61 CE.
