New Caesarea Museum

New Caesarea Museum

This photo is of the exterior of the new museum at Caesarea Maritima.  It is built into four of the fourteen vaults that Herod the Great built to support the platform of the temple of Augustus and Roma.

To the left (north) of the museum, reconstruction work continues—note the reconstructed staircase that leads up to where the Temple stood.

This is what the area looked like back in the 1970s.  And also Here.
