Ralli Museum (Caesarea)

[6] The Ralli 1 Museum building is approximately nine thousand square meters with five exhibit halls in a Spanish Colonial architecture style surrounded by a 40 hectare garden of sculptures.

Ralli 1 also has a permanent collection of archaeological objects, found in and around Caesarea, from the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Crusader periods.

The building itself is constructed in Moorish Style, with a courtyard at the center featuring a fountain and 12 lions encircling it, similar to Alhambra Palace in Granada.

Marble statues of Yehuda Halevi, Maimonides, Spinoza and Ibn Gabirol are also present in the courtyard.

The permanent collection contains paintings of European artists from 16th to 18th centuries depicting Biblical themes.
