Caesarea: Romans, Jews, Christians, Crusaders and Mamelukes
Caesarea was the Roman capital of the area in the time of Herod, Pontius Pilate, Paul, Bar Kochva and Rabbi Akiva.
The center of commerce, revolt and ultimate destruction. Saladin fought here. So did King Louis IX of France.
A short day trip to see the restored ruins and hear the stories.
So how is Caesarea pronounced?
