Masada National Park

Masada National Park is an ancient fortress located on a mountain overlooking the Dead Sea in Israel. Built by King Herod around 37 BCE, it served as a stronghold and palace. It is famous for its dramatic history, especially the courageous Jewish resistance against Roman conquerors in 73-74 CE. The site features well-preserved ruins, including palaces, storerooms, and fortifications, accessible via a cable car or hiking trail. Visiting Masada offers a blend of historical insight, breathtaking desert views, and insight into the resilience of its defenders. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site symbolizing survival and determination.
