Visiting Ceaserea by the Sea today.  Such a beautiful place.  I could walk around and look for hours, but sadly the children are not so enthused by more ruins.  We took a picnic lunch and ate before we walked around.  This city is referenced in Acts where Paul was brought as a prisoner after appealing to Ceaser, Acts 25.  And it is where he addressed King Agrippa recorded in Acts 26.

Amphitheater which has been restored. Some is original.
