Ceasarea is an ancient city located in the Carmel Region of Israel near Haifa. The region of Carmel is known for their vineyards, and its name literally translates to "Vineyard of God." What a GORGEOUS area, wow. The ruins at Ceasarea mark what was once the capital of this ancient Roman province, governed by Pontius Pilot. It is a very important region in historical Christianity because it is the only place in the world where there were scrolls found that proved Pontius Pilot was a real figure. Proof of Pontius Pilot is a vital aspect of their understanding of the bible, as he was the governor who sentenced Jesus to death.

Now in ruins, this open space where the water is boxed in used to be palace gardens.
Overlook.
This is Ceasarea's 5,000 seat amphitheater that housed theatrical performances and was also considered a place of worship. Next summer, Madonna will be performing here. If you are asked to perform here, you can consider yourself as part of elite super stardom.
