Caesarea is a city dedicated by Herod the Great to Caesar Augustus more than 2,000 years ago. It is a major tourist attraction in Israel.
Caesarea was originally called Straton's Tower after its founder Straton, a ruler of Sidon in the 4th century BCE.
Originally a Phoenician port, Herod the Great built Caesarea into the grandest city other than Jerusalem in Palestine, with a deep sea harbor (called Sebastos), aqueduct, hippodrome and amphitheater.
