Excavations by archaeologists have revealed multiple layers of inhabitants at Caesarea Maritima. One of those layers is that of the Byzantine era [in round numbers, 400-1400 AD]. A small portion of the Byzantine governor’s palace has been found there, pictured above.
A historical marker reads:
"This bathhouse is the only important remain of the private wing of the Byzantine governor’s palace, almost entirely destroyed by the construction of the medieval fortifications."
