This is a major site. Caesarea was prominent in early church history. The first Gentile (the centurion Cornelius) was baptized here by the apostle Peter (Acts 10). The apostle Paul not only passed through Caesarea on several of his journeys (Acts 9:30; 18:22; 21:8-16), but was also imprisoned here by the governors Festus and Felix before going to Rome to appeal his case before Nero (Acts 23:22-26:32).
The streets here date back to the 1st century.
This is what's left from Herod's palace. Since there is no natural Marble in Israel, these columns were imported from Europe.
