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.
Prestasi teknik Herodes lainnya yang mengagumkan adalah benteng - istana Herodium, terletak di atas bukit yang menjulang sekitar lima kilometer di sebelah tenggara Betlehem.
