]]> Amman Citadel is one of Jordan’s most important historical landmarks, and a visit to Amman isn’t complete without it. This historic site has been inhabited by many civilizations over the centuries, and here are the most important structures you should check out during your visit.

Temple of Hercules

This temple is the most significant Roman structure in the Amman Citadel and the main reason why people visit it in the first place. It mostly consists of the columns of an unfinished temple and the mysterious hand of Hercules that visitors find truly fascinating.

?? Tempio di Ercole, Amman, Giordania. Il Tempio romano di Ercole è un monumento collocato nella Cittadella di Amman ad Amman, in Giordania. La struttura fu costruita tra il 162 ed il 166 d.C., durante il regno di Marco Aurelio e quando Marco Gemino fu il governatore della provincia d'Arabia. La costruzione presenta una larghezza di circa 30 X 24 metri e un portico con sei colonne di 10 metri di altezza. Gli archeologi sostengono che il Tempio non fu mai portato a termine, in quanto non sono stati rinvenuti resti di colonne aggiuntive. ?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️ ??

Jordan Archaeological Museum

Jordan Archaeological Museum is located on top of the Amman Citadel, and it’s the best place to learn more about  Jordan’s ancient history since it features artifacts dating all the way back to the prehistoric times.

Umayyad Palace

Located right behind the museum, this domed palace will make you see the Amman Citadel in a whole new light. Its exterior is truly breathtaking, but make sure to peek inside while you’re there because the audience hall happens to be its most striking feature.
