Here is something interesting from Caesarea. The picture here is of a palace that Herod the Great built in this opulent city. The palace was meant to be a special place where Herod could get away from the crowd. He had it build on this reef so it jutted out into the ocean (it must have been spectacular). If you notice, you can see a large rectangular cut out in the reef itself. This was a wading pool that was a central feature of Herod's palace.
