Caesarea


the "Promontory Palace" jutting into the sea, just west of the Roman theatre, 
dates back to the Roman and Byzantine periods


Reem standing on the skene of the Roman theater, which dates to the time of 
King Herod the Great.  It is the most oldest theatre in the Palestine region 
and could accommodate 4,000 spectators.
