The Antonia Fortress was overlooking the Temple Court, just north of it, not too far from Bethesda. Golgotha is located just outside the Sheep Gate (today the Lion's Gate), which also is very close to Bethesda. From the eastern base of Golgotha (closest to the gate) to the Antionia Fortress it would have been between 80 and 120 meters, depending on the exact place where the Antonia Fortress was. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. Joh 5,2

What three things did Romans do when they retook Jerusalem in a.d. 70?

And they killed, drove out, or enslaved the citizens of Jerusalem.

What fortress was the scene of a very long Roman and Jewish siege battle?
Masada (pronounced "matzada" in Hebrew).
Why is the Jewish fortress called masada considered a symbol of Jewish heroism?
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.
