Just around the corner to Caesarea

After about a half an hour drive north from the city of Tel Aviv, I found myself in the 2,000 year old ancient ruins of Caesarea.

Orginally built by Herod the Great about 25 –13 BC, its a fortress, palace, harbour beautifully located on the coast of the Mediterranean. Between Romans, Crusaders, Jews and Muslims various peoples conquered and reconquered this fascinating place.

Having done numerous tours and travels around Israel, I was quite embarrassed to admit that I had not explored this gem of history just half an hour from my house.
