The Ancient Fortress of Massada

The Fortress of Massada is actually a palace built by King Herod. It was a magnificent palace in the middle of the desert. Massada was then used as a fortress by the Jewish "Zealots" who fough against the Romans. This is the whole or cistern where all the water was stored.

This is a view from the balcony of Massada.

This is me looking out the window of the palace in Massada.

This is a model of what the palace used to look like.

Here is me, my mom, my grandma and my sister on top of Massada.
