Attractions

Herodium

Herod the Great built this fortress with grandeur. He ruled over Judea from 37 to 4 BCE, and this place served not only as a stronghold but also as a summer palace for the monarch and a "capital" of the district. Later, it became the final resting place of the king and his monument. Herod the Great was a prolific builder, but only Herodium bears his name in its title.
