The Roman client King Herod built the palace- fortress of Masada. The fortress was the place of the last Jewish rebels in the so-called Jewish Wars.
King Herod.
He built mamsada because he wanted to feel like a king
King Herod built it for himself as summer palace. After his passing, the palace was mostly derelict. During the late 60's CE, there was a Jewish Zealot uprising in Roman Palestine that went disastrously for the Zealots and they fled to the fortress of Masada to escape needing to surrender to the Romans (and possible enslavement). The fortress was near impregnable, but the Romans built a ramp so that they could bring a battering ram up to the fortress. Rather than be taken alive, all of the Zealots in Masada committed suicide. Most Jews today see them as martyrs fighting for the restoration of Jewish religious rights and political rights.
Masada is a monument in Israel and a testament to the Jewish history in the country. King Herod built it for himself as summer palace. After his passing, the palace was mostly derelict. During the late 60's CE, there was a Jewish Zealot uprising in Roman Palestine that went disastrously for the Zealots and they fled to the fortress of Masada to escape needing to surrender to the Romans (and possible enslavement). The fortress was near impregnable, but the Romans built a ramp so that they could bring a battering ram up to the fortress. Rather than be taken alive, all of the Zealots in Masada committed suicide. Most Jews today see them as martyrs fighting for the restoration of Jewish religious rights and political rights. However, the site would probably be better classified as an archaelogical tourist attraction.
We can safely say that king Herod lived all over Judaea. Herod was a great builder and palaces were included in his projects. Jerusalem, Masada, Caesarea, all had palaces where Herod lived, and there were probably more scattered around the countryside.We can safely say that king Herod lived all over Judaea.

According to Scripture :Herod, the king of JudaeaYes..he ruled Jeruselem, according to biblical accounts at Jesus`s birth where he comissioned The Magi to locate this promised child.He was in power while they arrested Jesus whome was in his mid thirties.According to Flavius Josephes he was living in his compound with his sisterwhome encountered several failed marrages.Many Royals under turbulance from the Romans would have allied for their survival.Josephus accounts his sister eventualy married the Pope..King Herold never married.Unless we are speaking about more than one Herold he must have lived to a ripe old age. Ill have to check the dates on that.
The tomb of King Herod the Great was found in the ruins of Masada. Or as it is often termed Herodium. The tomb was discovered by Israeli archeologist Netzer from the University of Jerusalem in 2007.
