Israel Apollonia Fortress
Apollonia-Arsuf is located in the northwestern part of the modern city of Herzliya on a kurkar (fossilized dune sandstone) ridge overlooking the Mediterranean shore. The site lies 17 km north of Joppa and 34 km south of Caesarea. The ground of the eastern part of the site rises 35 m above sea level, and from there gently slopes down to the west, to about 20 m above sea level. The first systematic excavations at Apollonia-Arsuf were carried out in 1950, north of the Medieval city wall on behalf of the Israel Department of Antiquities.
