Vestibule

View of the vestibule at the top of the ceremonial staircase. The door on the right leads into the interior courtyard of the upper Herodium.

Note the colorful secco paintings. They are well-preserved because this vestibule was used for only a brief period of time before it was filled in with dirt.
