Probably not. Masada was built by Herod the Great between the years 37 and 31 BC. Now, even though Cleopatra visited Herod shortly before her overthrow, its unlikely that Herod would entertain a royal guest in a palace/fort that was unfinished.Probably not.

We can safely say that king Herod lived all over Judaea. Herod was a great builder and palaces were included in his projects. Jerusalem, Masada, Caesarea, all had palaces where Herod lived, and there were probably more scattered around the countryside.We can safely say that king Herod lived all over Judaea.

King Herod.
According to Scripture :Herod, the king of JudaeaYes..he ruled Jeruselem, according to biblical accounts at Jesus`s birth where he comissioned The Magi to locate this promised child.He was in power while they arrested Jesus whome was in his mid thirties.According to Flavius Josephes he was living in his compound with his sisterwhome encountered several failed marrages.Many Royals under turbulance from the Romans would have allied for their survival.Josephus accounts his sister eventualy married the Pope..King Herold never married.Unless we are speaking about more than one Herold he must have lived to a ripe old age. Ill have to check the dates on that.
Masada was a near-impregnable fortress built by Herod the Great atop a mesa overlooking the Dead Sea. During the first great Jewish revolt against Rome, started in the year 68, Masada was the last redoubt of the rebels, who held on there until the year 73. Rome beseiged Masada and eventually used a force of 15,000 men to take it, the entire 10th legion plus a huge crew of slaves to build earthworks, including a great ramp up which they moved a siege tower.
Yes they did.
Masada is Jewish. Herod the Great did some extensive building at Masada. Later in the Jewish wars with Rome Masada was well fortified and the Jews held the Romans off for many long months. When the Romans had advanced to the point of capturing the Jews a pact was made and the Jews killed each other so that they would not be taken captive.

We know Herod the Great had palaces in Caesarea, on the coast of the Mediterranean, in Jerusalem, in the man-made mountain called the Herodium (where his tomb was discovered in 2007), in Jericho, and on the mountain fortress of Masada. He had other palaces, perhaps as many as 12.
