Caesarea is located in the Sharon Region of northern Israel, right along the coast. The city serves as a unique combination of old harbors on the seashore and excavation sites. If you are interested in Israel archaeology, Caesarea is the city for you! Take a look at Old Israel from an exceptional angle. Whether you are interested in actual dig sites or Israel archaeological museums, your passion can be satisfied. It is a little known fact that Israel is home to more museums per capita than any other country in the world. Obviously such sites are popular during Israel vacations, but you might also choose to visit Roman fortresses, Hellenistic towns or Crusader castles that are plentiful in Caesarea.

The ancient harbor in Caesarea serves as a great piece of Israel archaeology. It was constructed by King Herod over 2,000 years ago, a time span that can boggle the mind! Through the centuries, Romans, Muslims and centuries-old crusaders left their marks on the harbor. An ancient amphitheater still stands, where it has been converted into something that functions well today. History can be enjoyed by all who visit Old Israel. Israel archaeological pieces, like capitals from the top of ancient columns, have been preserved and are on display outside the amphitheater. From there, you can see the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea, which is hardly in the distance at all. The way the sky and the ocean come together is a mesmerizing scene you will enjoy from your prime seat in Israel’s archaeological beauty that is the amphitheater in Caesarea.

Apart from Israel archaeology that abounds in Caesarea, there are also great numbers of sunny beaches and art galleries to feast your eyes on.

The art gallery, of course a must-see, features both modern and ancient art from the area.
