Masada

Ramp Romans built to reach Massda
Cliff of Massada




We were able to visit the ruins of Masada, truly a remarkable piece of history. We took a cable car to visit the ruins of this mighty fortress, where from 70-73 A.D. the Jewish defenders made the last stand of the Judean revolt against Rome. It was here that rather than surrender their belief in one God, they chose Suicide.
