The ancient fortress of Masada is steeped in history and legend as the site where the Jews made their last stand against the Romans. Rather than be conquered, it is said that the residents chose to end their own lives as the legion closed in.
In addition to the stories, Masada is also home to impressive ruins from the Roman era, including Herod’s palace, a synagogue and an aqueduct.
Ein Gedi National Park

You can also discover the Ein Gedi Synagogue, which possesses a mysterious and beautiful 3rd-century mosaic.
