Restoration works are still ongoing in Anavarza, and after exposing the impressive colonnaded street (see: A double highway in antiquity) of ancient Caesarea , archaeologists are now concentrating on the Triumphal Arch which the Romans built in the 3rd century BC.
This arch is 22.5 meters wide and 10.5 meters high, one of the largest such gates in the area. Judging by the pictures, this gate looks pretty poor but since many of its construction blocks are still laying around, experts are confident to restore it to its former glory. This Triumphal Arch is one of the three access gates of Caesarea .
Once this project is completed, they will concentrate on excavating the ancient theater.
