Amman's Historical & Artistic Treasures

Amman’s heritage unfolds through its ancient ruins and contemporary cultural spaces. The Citadel Hill features the Roman Temple of Hercules and the 8th-century Umayyad Palace, while the 6,000-seat Roman Theatre remains a centerpiece of the downtown area. Museums like The Jordan Museum preserve the 9,000-year-old 'Ain Ghazal statues and Dead Sea Scrolls, while the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts and Darat al Funun showcase modern Arab artistry within restored historic villas.
