Day 3
Traveled to Caesarea and learned about Herod the Great, sat in a recently excavated hippodrome while we listened to Michael teach, experienced a spectacular view from the top of Mount Carmel where Elisha took on the prophets of Baal, visited the ruins of the chariot city of Megiddo, and enjoyed sunset and dinner at the peaceful shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Caesarea Maritima
The city and harbor were built under Herod the Great during c. 22–10 BC near the site of a former Phoenician naval station known as Stratonos pyrgos (Στράτωνος πύργος).[2] It later became the provincial capital of Roman Judea, Roman Syria Palaestina and Byzantine Palaestina Prima provinces. The city was populated throughout the 1st to 6th centuries CE and became an important early center of Christianity during the Byzantine period, but was mostly abandoned following the Muslim conquest of 640. It was re-fortified by the Crusaders, and finally slighted by the Mamluks in 1265.
