The city of Caesarea contained a giant hippodrome, aqueduct and theater; a thousand years later the Crusaders arrived and built a giant fortress, and then came the Ottomans, who turned it into a seaside town. Today, the Roman theatre is a venue for concerts, the Crusader fortress is thrilling to visit and the Ottoman harbor and beach are full of cafes, restaurants and a visitors\u2019 center. Caesarea is 45 minutes\u2019 drive from Tel Aviv, 20 from Haifa.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Roman port city of Caesarea is one of Israel\u2019s wonders, combining ancient structures, archeology and a picture-perfect harbor, and adapting them for modern use.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2413&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Built by Rome\u2019s Judean Governor, Herod the Great, two millennia ago, Caesarea was one of the largest and most magnificent ports in the Mediterranean, with giant piers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-places-to-go","category-north"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6506,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446\/revisions\/6506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
