Summary

Description

Masada was a site of ancient palaces and fortifications built atop this plateau. In 66 CE, at the beginning of the First Jewish-Roman War against the Roman Empire, a group of Jewish extremists seized the garrison from the Romans. In 73 CE, just before the Romans breached the wall of the fortress to retake it, the Jewish inhabitants of Masada committed mass suicide. Masada was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
