What to See
Caesarea National Park is home to a myriad of historical sites and attractions that reflect its storied past. The park itself is centered around the ancient city of Caesarea, which was built by Herod the Great in honor of Augustus Caesar. Here are some key highlights:
1. The Ancient Harbor
