Penerangan
Kubu Antonia di Yerusalem, terletak di sudut barat laut kawasan kuil. Ia dirujuk sebagai "kastil" [Kis 21:34 ; Kis 21:37 ]. Dari tangga kubu ini, Paulus menyampaikan ucapannya yang terkenal kepada orang ramai yang berdiri di bawah [Kis 22:1 -21]. Pada asalnya, ia adalah tempat di mana pakaian imam besar disimpan. Herodes memperkuatkannya dan menamakannya Antonia sebagai penghormatan kepada rakannya Mark Antony. Ia besar dan mendominasi kuil. Ia dibina di atas platform berbatu, dipisahkan dari bukit Bezetha di utara oleh parit kira-kira 30 kaki dalam dan 165 kaki lebar.

maklumat dari kamus
Antonia
a fortress in Jerusalem, at the north-west corner of the temple area. It is called "the castle" (Acts 21:34; 21:37). From the stairs of this castle Paul delivered his famous speech to the multitude in the area below (Acts 22:1-21). It was originally a place in which were kept the vestments of the high priest. Herod fortified it, and called it Antonia in honour of his friend Mark Antony. It was of great size, and commanded the temple. It was built on a plateau of rock, separated on the north from the hill Bezetha by a ditch about 30 feet deep and 165 feet wide.
