Caesarea (Palestine). A city on the coast north of Jaffa, it was rebuilt by
Herod the Great and renamed in honour of the Emp. Augustus. It became the capital of Palestine (
c.13 BC). In the course of a visit by St
Peter, the Holy Spirit was here first given to the Gentiles (Acts 10: 44 f.). St
Paul was imprisoned here for two years (Acts 23: 23; 24: 27). The home of
Origen from 231, Caesarea became noted as a seat of learning. The city was important during the
Crusades, but was demolished in 1265.
