The ruin itself is worth a look but the story of the York Jews barracading themselves from attacking citizens rivals Masada for drama and sacrifice.

So old and full of history. My 5-year-old daughter thought it was one of the best parts of our trip. The spiral staircases are a thrill, and there's a giant book about castles just made for little ones (and informative for big ones, too). Great view of the city. A little nerve-wracking for those with a fear of heights, but worth it. There are very steep stairs up to it, but my sister with a hip problem had no trouble getting up.

the place was so pretty and so amazingly gorgeous i thought it was cooly high and so stoney i felt like it was made of stone the area around was so green it looked like grass although i didnt like the moving machines near by on the grey carpet i love it so much i am changing my name to it. my new name is sue
