Jerusalem - an Architectural walking tour.

Prior to becoming a Tour Guide nine years ago I was an architect for a long period of time. Consequently, I have developed a deep interest in present and past structures, peceiving them to be historical documents recorded in stone. I view archaeological remains anthropomorphically and see them as unclothed buildings with some missing limbs.

Buildings are a reflection of the pervailing society and are a response to the needs and culture of that society. In addition, buildings utilize the technological innovations of the period & are influenced by the climatic, geographical & geological conditions of their enviroment. If I may quote William Morris (1834-1896), and English architect belonging to the Arts & Crafts movement who wrote the following, " Architecture is the moulding & altering to human needs of the very face of the earth itself ".

This tour focuses on the story and architecture of Caesarea and on King Herod who built a city as impressive as any in the Roman Empire and a harbor that could be used year round - this is not your ordinary tour of Caesarea, if you liked Masada you'll love this site.
Of course we'll cover Herod's palace that was built out into the water with an indoor swimming pool, the harbor , the Roman landmarks - the theater, hippodrome that became an amphitheater, temple to Emperor Augustus, public bathhouse, storage rooms.

But Caesarea is not just Herod, many other important historical figures and events are tied to its history, the Apostles Philip, Simon Peter and Cornelius and Paul, Pontius Pilate, the Jewish revolt against Rome, the Arab conquest and the Crusaders.
