Kaisarea Maritima
Kaisarea Maritima (juga Caesarea Palestinae;[1] Yunani: Parálios Kaisáreia, Παράλιος Καισάρεια) adalah sebuah Taman Nasional Israel di dataran rendah Sharon, yang terdiri dari reruntuhan kuno kota pesisir Kaisarea.
Kota dan pelabuhan tersebut dibangun di bawah pemerintahan Herodes Agung pada sekitar tahun 22-10 SM di dekat situs bekas stasiun angkatan laut Foenisia yang dikenal sebagai Stratonos pyrgos (Στράτωνος πύργος).[2] Kota tersebut kemudian menjadi ibu kota provinsi Yudea Romawi, Palestina Siria Romawi dan Prima Palestina bizantium. Kota tersebut ditinggali sepanjang abad ke-1 sampai ke-6 Masehi dan menjadi pusat awal Kekristenan berpengaruh pada zaman Bizantium, tetapi sebagian besar dihancurkan setelah penaklukan Muslim pada 640.

B.C. This small harbor was situated on the N part of the site. Herod dedicated the new town and its port (limen Sebastos) to Caesar Augustus.
