Apollonia ( Greek Απολλωνία; modern Hebrew ) was an ancient city in Hellenistic and Roman Judea, in the late Roman era renamed to Sozusa (, or Sozusa in Palestina for disambiguation with Sozusa in Libya). It was situated on a cliff above the Mediterranean Sea, about south of Caesarea.
It fell to the Muslim conquest in 640 and was fortified against Byzantine attacks, now known as Arsuf ( ʾArsūf, latinized Arsur). It was re-conquered by the kingdom of Jerusalem in 1101, and was a strategically important fortress in the Third Crusade, during which the Battle of Arsuf (1191) was fought nearby. The fortress fell to the Mamluks in 1265 and was destroyed.
The site of Arsuf (Tel Arshaf; , also Apollonia–Arsuf) is now in Herzliya municipality, Israel (just north of Tel Aviv). The site was intensively excavated from 1994. In 2002, the site was named Apollonia National Park.
