Caesarea, Haifa District, Israel — West Asia (the Levant in the Middle East)
The Lower Palace
A refined palace with a swimming pool, once stood here. The sand only preserved its eastern wing, comprising a grand (dining?) complex: a central hall (Triclinium?) flanked by two small rooms on each side, all richly decorated, and provided with bathing and heating facilities. To the Northeast, a staircase led to the upper story, and the Upper Palace. A mikveh (Jewish ritual bath) and a bathhouse were found next to it.
