Caesarea

The National Park

Talking about Caesarea and tourism cannot start in any other way. The national park of Caesarea is one of the most beautiful places exists in Israel. It is also one of the important archeological sites of Israel, for reason that Caesarea used to be the economic and cultural capital of Israel, in old times when Israel was a Palestinian province ruled by the Romans.

A large amount of the greatness of Herod the Great is dedicated to his architectural achievements, which were impressive in quantity and quality as well (his most famous project is the expansion of the Second Temple in Jerusalem). The ancient city of Caesarea Maritima is great evidence of his abilities. The ruins of the city, among them amazing mosaics and an impressive Roman theatre, are located in the national park, along with other fascinating archeological findings and great reconstruction work, of the Roman time of the city and other periods as well.
It is important to mention that Caesarea Maritima is a port city, and the national park sits on a natural harbor. The combination of the beauty of the sea with the great aesthetic of the archeological site makes a magical mixture nobody can be indifferent to.

Except for the aesthetic issue, the national park of Caesarea is also a very good place for an interesting history lesson. The visitors of the park can enjoy an enriching and creative movie about ancient Caesarea.
