As it was:
"Two thousand years since its construction as the main port of the region - one of the many monumental projects built 2,000 years ago by King Herod thanks to an advanced Roman technology - Caesarea is going through a period of growing prosperity and is vying to become Israel's main archaeological site. In this area - which is visited each year by a million Israeli and foreign tourists - a new attraction has just been inaugurated. A walk on the walls built in 1251 during the visit of the King of France Louis IX.
Visitors will be able to walk through the ancient market and a secret tunnel used during sieges to ensure the city had enough food and ammunition."
"Moreover, the archaeological park of Caesarea also has restaurants, coffee shops and stores. Due to its perfect acoustics and location right in front of the sea, the Roman theater attracts thousands with its concerts and musical performances. ''A bit like the Acropolis in Athens, here too - said Goldstein - it is possible to spend relaxing hours inside structures that date back to an ancient past''.
There are some cool pictures of it all lit up at night.
