Herodium

Japanese: ヘロディウム(英語表記)Herodium
Herodium
Located about 12 km south of Jerusalem and 4 km southeast of Bethlehem, this artificial hill (718 m above sea level) is the remains of a palace fortress built by Herod the Great (completed around 15 BC). During the First Jewish War (66-70, 132-135), it served as a base for the Jewish rebels. The top of the hill is carved into a circle, which contains the buildings of the palace fortress. The perimeter is surrounded by a double wall (the outer wall has a diameter of 62 m), and along the circumference are one powerful circular tower and three semicircular towers on the north, south, east and west sides.
