Israel / Caesarea / History
Caesarea! The name itself evokes visions of the ancient city that Herod the Great dedicated to Caesar, over 2000 years ago. He adorned the city with fine marble and splendid monuments, the remains of which can still be seen today.
Many peoples, of different creeds, governed the city throughout its history as an important coastal station. The Phoenicians founded a base there in the 4th century BC Long after the fall of Herod's city. It was fortified as a stronghold by the Crusaders who landed there in 1101.
