Palace/Fortress
ID: JCMA02
View looking west at the east slope of the fortress of Machaerus. The palace/fortress was located on the top of the hill. On the left (south) side of the image is the beginning of a spur that connects Machaerus with a hill to the south of the palace. An aqueduct system, running from left to right, brought water to cisterns along the side of the hill and to its top.
