Summary[edit]

Description

The remains of the lower tiers of Herod's palace at Caesarea. The large rectangular depression cut into the rock marks the location of Herod's swimming pool. The nearer, sandy areas held sleeping quarters, dining rooms, private meeting rooms, etc. Here the complex reached out into the Mediterranean sea on a very narrow, low promontory so that the exterior walls were almost lapped by the waves. Unfortunately, the salt water also eroded the stones much more quickly than in drier locations. The photo is taken from the seaward end of the palace's main peristyle courtyard, standing at the (modern) wooden railing.
