The Northern Palace at Masada is a magnificent three-tiered “hanging” palace built by King Herod the Great between 37 and 31 BC. It cascades dramatically down the northern edge of a steep cliff. A modern metal stair transports our pilgrims from the Mosaic Christian Church down dizzying heights.
The Dead Sea stretches off in the distance.
Explorers walk the stair down to the lowest tier of the Northern Palace, Masada.
