Understand

Caesarea, steeped in history, is a unique destination managed by a private organization rather than a government entity. With ties to the prominent Rothschild family, the area was acquired by Baron Edmond James de Rothschild in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, the Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Development Corporation serves as the driving force behind the Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Foundation. Apart from its rich heritage, Caesarea caters to tourists and luxury-seekers alike. It boasts luxurious residences, including the residence of the current Baron de Rothschild, along with a lavish 18-hole golf course designed by the renowned Robert Trent-Jones. Miles of stunning beaches line the Mediterranean waters, while a variety of exquisite restaurants, galleries, and boutiques add to the allure. Notably, Caesarea hosts the annual International Opera Festival in its awe-inspiring Roman theatre, which also hosts exciting concerts and entertainment extravaganzas.
