... Great view of a magnificent and impressive amphitheater carved into a hillside... built in the 2nd century CE during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius... a remarkable piece of Roman architecture that has been beautifully preserved in the heart of modern-day Amman... a true testament to Roman engineering and craftsmanship to hold 6000 people... it served as a venue for performances, speeches, and public gatherings and is still used for cultural events today... climbing to the top is definitely worth it... the view from above offers a breathtaking panorama of the city, making the experience even more memorable... there are also two small museums inside... the Jordan Folklore Museum and the Museum of Popular Traditions which showcase Jordanian history and culture...Thanks a lot Esram!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
Amman is the capital and the largest city of Jordan and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It was originally known as Philadelphia and was one of the cities of the Decapolis, a league of ten Roman cities in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
The city is characterized by its hilly terrain, with numerous valleys running through the city. It’s often referred to as the "City of Seven Hills". The city’s name, Amman, is thought to have been derived from the term "ammoun", which means "to settle" in the Semitic languages.
