Water Cisterns

 
The southern water cistern  – The huge investment and know-how that went into the construction of Masada’s water cisterns are exemplified here. A flight of 64 stairs leads into this great cistern, whose walls were covered with many layers of plaster. On the wall to the left of the stairs is an inscription mentioning a youth group that was here in 1941.
