Views From the Amman Citadel


The Amman Citadel (in Arabic, Jabal al-Qal'a), situated on one of Amman's seven jabals (hills), is the site of one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited places, and it symbolizes the birthplace of the world's three monotheistic religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The photo above depicts the ruins of the Temple of Hercules. The banner photo on this blog shows the Umayyad Palace. The photos below show some of the great views from the Citadel.
