The city of Caesarea in present-day Algeria was founded in 25 BC by client king Augustus Juba II and named in honor of the Emperor Augustus. The city of Caesarea on today's Golan Heights was founded by client king Philip twenty years later and also named after the Emperor Augustus. Then there was the one that today is the most famous: Ceasarea near present-day Haifa in Israel. Only, it wasn't really 'built' by a client king of Rome. That city was built by the (independent) king Alexander Jannaeus under the name Stratonospyrgos. Client king Herod the Great revamped it in classic US Courthouse style, expanded the city and its harbor and renamed it after - you guessed it - the Emperor Augustus.

What connection did Cleopatra have to the Old City of Caesarea in current-day Israel?

Cleopatra had no connection to the ancient city of Caesarea that is known. But remember there were several cities by that name. However, her daughter was married to Juba II of Mauritania and their capitol city was named Caesarea. The Caesarea in current day Israel was built by Herod the Great sometime between 25 and 13 BC. Its construction was started roughly five years after Cleo's death. So Cleopatra would have had no connection to that Caesarea, and it's unlikely that any of her sympathizers would be allowed to even live there, as Cleopatra and Herod were not exactly buddies. However, there was a former city callen Straton's Tower built by Straton I of Sidon on the site of Caesarea in Israel. After the agreement between Cleopatra and Marc Antony at Antioch, Cleopatra was given territories all along the eastern Mediterranean coast and this city was part of her new holdings. She was supposed to have made a tour of her new possessions upon leaving Marc Antony and could very well have stopped at the old city, before it was rebuilt and called Caesarea.
