Located on an almost inaccessible mountaintop high above the Dead Sea, King Herod built this legendary palace fortress about 2,000 years ago. About 75 years after Herod's death, it became the final stronghold of the First Revolt against Rome. Here the last Jews to live under their own rule (until the creation of the State of Israel in 1948) committed suicide on the eve of their conquest by Roman armies. They unanimously choose death....... over a life of slavery.
