Antonia Fortress

Antonia Fortress

‎The Antonia Fortress was a military barrack built by Herod the Great to the north of the Temple Mount of Jerusalem. There the Roman army was stationed that among other things observed and monitored the activities on the Temple Mount. The Antonia Fortress is probably the fortress to which Paul was brought according to Acts 22:24. Today the landscape has a completely new design. The picture shows a segment of the former area of the fortress. Other portions are now part of modern buildings.
‎Acts 22:24
