Caesarea, Archaeological site and coastal resort in northern Israel.

The harbor contains extensive Roman ruins including an amphitheater, fortifications, and underwater breakwaters stretching along the Mediterranean shore.

King Herod constructed this maritime city between 25 and 13 BCE, establishing it as a major Mediterranean port and administrative center of the Roman Empire.

The restored Roman theater now functions as an outdoor performance venue, hosting concerts and festivals throughout the year against the backdrop of ancient stones.

Visitors can access the archaeological park through guided tours, which include explanations of the Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader period structures.

The site features submerged archaeological remains visible through glass-bottom boats, revealing ancient harbor structures beneath the Mediterranean waters.
