Top of Masada

There were a few ruins littering the top (pic. 1 and 2). Pic. 3 shows the top of the plateau.

However there was also a very moving story regarding some Israelis who held out here against the Romans for 3 yrs before committing suicide. Pic. 4 shows the ramp that the romans built to attack Masada.

One ruin showed where Herod the great had plastered over the local rock to give it a more expensive look (pic. 5).
