Herodium (Latin), Herodion (Ancient Greek: Ἡρώδειον, Arabic: هيروديون, Hebrew: הרודיון) or Jabal al-Fureidis (Arabic: جبل فريديس, lit. '"Mountain of the Little Paradise"'), (formerly Frank Mountain), is a truncated-cone-shaped hill in the West Bank, 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of Jerusalem and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southeast of Bethlehem. It is located between the Palestinian villages of Za'atara and Jannatah, and adjacent to the Israeli settlement Sdeh Bar and to a military base from the south.

Prior to the publication of Biblical Researches in Palestine in 1841, the site was known variously as Frank Mountain, the Mountain of Little Paradise, or Bethulia; Edward Robinson's identification of the site as Herodium was based on the description found in Josephus.[2][3] Josephus described a palace fortress and a small town, named after Herod the Great, built between 23 and 15 BCE. A sarcophagus discovered in 2007 was claimed to belong to Herod as it was more ornate than others found in the area.[4][5][6] Herodium is 758 meters (2,487 ft) above sea level.
