The Promontory Palace or the Palace of Procurators, Caesarea. Described by Josephus as the "Most Magnificent Palace" that Herod the Great built (1st Cent. BC). St: Paul may have been imprisoned on the grounds of this palace (Acts 23:35).

The palace was built on a rock promontory jutting out into the sea. It was a large complex (110 x 60 m) with a decorative Olympic-sized  pool, surrounded by porticoes. What you see in 1P to 3P are the only remains visible today.  The more obvious remains (4P to 6P) are now a large colonnaded courtyard (42 x 65 m) with a replica of 'Pontius Pilate Inscription' in the middle. All the columns are restored. This part  is believed to be where once the palace of Pilate stood.

Remember that Caesarea has an important role in New Testament  history. Here the baptism of Roman officer Cornelius-the first non-Jewish convert to Christianity took place; (Acts 10:1-5, 25-28) from here Paul set sail for his journeys and here he was taken prisoner and sent to Rome for trial. (Acts 23:23-24).
