Amman's Essential Landmarks

Amman’s history is visible through its diverse architecture, from the 2nd-century BCE Hellenistic palace of Qasr al-Abd to the Roman ruins of the Citadel and the 6,000-seat Roman Theatre. The city’s 20th-century growth is reflected in the blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts. Historic districts like Jabal Amman offer a glimpse into early modern life along Rainbow Street, while the bustling Souq El-Khodra remains a center for traditional commerce in the downtown core.
