Most tourists will suffice with a 1-2 hours review of Caesarea’s main attractions, which are between the site’s theatre and its sunken harbor. However, Caesarea has a lot more to offer. A hippodrome hidden among banana fields, a large mosaic floor on a sandy hilltop, and two giant sized marble sculptures inside an events venue. These are just some of Caesarea’s less known attractions. If you have seen Caesarea before or have the time, it is well worth considering exploring these hidden gems of Caesarea.
The Byzantine Street and Hippodrome
The Synagogue and Aqueduct
A leisurely 15 minute walk from the Synagogue along the beautiful coastline leads to the stunning remains of Caesarea’s aqueduct. In Roman and Byzantine times, this aqueduct delivered precious fresh water into Caesarea from springs in the Carmel.
Caesarea’s Museums
Within the modern town of Caesarea is the Ralli museum. Its special Latin American design exhibits a unique combination of Latin American and Jewish themed artwork. Modern Caesarea also has a golf club, the only full-size golf course in Israel.
One last hidden gem, not far from the golf club, is a big and impressive mosaic floor .Set on a sandy hill, the mosaic depicts 50 birds in medallions, and hunting scenes along the frame. Nicknamed by the locals The Birds Mosaic, this mosaic floor probably decorated the main hall of a Byzantine mansion outside the city (Villa sub urbana).
