Masada situated on top of Judean desert

Masada is an alluring rampart in the southern district of Israel, situated on top of a remote plateau in the west of the Judean desert. The cliffs that are found on the side of Masada are discovered to be 400m high whereas cliffs on the west side are near 90m. The fortress is well known for its strong historic stories related to the ancient Roman Empire. The castle was built in a roman style in the form of an ancient roman palace. The king who ruled the place at the time wanted to build a stronghold to be owned by him where every speck of the fortress was to be made in his accord. The famous site was made in 30 BCE by the great Judean king named Herod. The steep sided rhombic top land in the west holds a desert and in the east overlooks the Dead Sea.
