Actually, that's Caesarea, "An ancient seaport in northwestern Israel;
an important Roman city in ancient Palestine" (WordWeb 3.03) was used
to determine prior levels of the Mediterranean Sea, which may have
lead to some interesting research regarding the Black Sea and the red
Sea and a transpired (geology/oceanography) in changing sea levels.
That's how I remember Caesarea's archaeology. Religiously, it was also
known for Basil, "(Roman Catholic Church) the bishop of Caesarea who
defended the Church against the heresies of the 4th century; a saint
and Doctor of the Church (329-379)" (Ibid.)
