Another of Herod’s remarkable feats of engineering was his palace - fortress of Herodium, located on a prominent hill about three miles [5 km] southeast of Bethlehem.
Veel üks Herodese tähelepanuväärne ehitusprojekt oli Herodeioni paleekindlus, mis asus 5 kilomeetrit Petlemmast kagus kõrguva mäe otsas.
