Caesarea Culture

Part of the material culture of Caesarea are the pottery, glass utensils, ivory, candle sticks, jewels and some objects made of wood. This range of items existed in the early 11th century. The objects have been exhibited since 1992 as a part of the tourist development of Caesarea.

One of the museums that mounted the exhibition of the relics is the Hecht Museum. The exhibition is devoted to the archeological finds from Caesarea. Those exhibitions concentrated largely on a study of the city's ancient ports, the sea bottom and the coast, and on testimonies to the comprehensive land and sea trade whose focus was Caesarea in the course of the Roman Byzantine era. Moreover, the artifacts describe the richness of Caesarea in the ancient Islamic period.
