Ancient Amman

Despite being a sprawling metropolis that mainly grew in the 20th century, Jordan’s capital still holds a number of sites of ancient history. At the top of the city you will find the impressive citadel with a range of interesting archeological sites, such as the Roman temple of Hercules and the Byzantine palace. At the heart of the downtown area you will also find the city’s Roman amphitheater that could once hold over 6,000 spectators. #aprilblooms #jordan #archeology
