Old ruins of Caesarea village are next to the Crusaders Fortress. On the top of the ruins, church of St. Peter was built which was on the site where an old mosque stood in the past. A wall which may belong to that building has been identified in modern times. Major excavations took place in 1990s and many of the old buildings were found on the site.
Walking towards the old village of Caesarea, beside the path there was a large sarcophagus on display. It has a gabled lid with two triangular handles at both ends. Another sarcophagus has head of Medusa, who is generally described as having the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes.
Caesarea was still in ruins till 1884 then Bosnian Muslim came to this area and started a fishing village called Qisarya which still exists today. Most inhabitants of the village left in 1940s amid violence and confusion. There were number of mosques in the village but only one has survived. This mosque had been used as a restaurant and as a gift shop in the past.
