    The Amman Citadel is an important archeological site dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Amman was an important city during the Roman and Byzantine Empire. It's definitely a MUST place to visit and explore. Stunning site with layers of history to explore and a fantastic view of the city of Amman. Highly recommended to visit in the late afternoon and stay for the glorious view of the sunset. Admire the city color changes and become golden. Also, I love hearing the call to prayer echos here on top.

    The Amman Citadel stands as an emblem of Jordan's remarkable history and a breathtaking symbol of the city's ancient legacy. Perched atop a hill, this archaeological site is an absolute must-visit for anyone exploring Amman. The Citadel's sprawling grounds host an array of historical remnants, from the iconic Temple of Hercules to the fascinating Umayyad Palace, each structure narrating a story of centuries past. The panoramic views from this vantage point offer an incredible perspective of Amman's evolving landscape and its juxtaposition of ancient ruins against a modern cityscape. The Citadel is a treasure trove for history buffs and culture enthusiasts alike. The artifacts displayed in the Jordan Archaeological Museum on-site provide a deeper understanding of the region's diverse heritage, spanning various civilizations that have left their mark on this historic site. The preservation efforts are commendable, allowing visitors to appreciate the Citadel's ancient marvels while also enjoying informative signage that illuminates the historical significance of each structure. Moreover, the Citadel's accessibility, coupled with the nearby bustling downtown area, makes it a convenient and enriching stop for tourists exploring Amman. Whether you're admiring the remnants of ancient civilizations, captivated by the Temple of Hercules, or simply taking in the stunning views, the Amman Citadel is an unforgettable journey through time, offering a profound appreciation for Jordan's rich cultural tapestry.

    I love the citadel, for a local ammani it's an escape from the busy city life in the middle of Amman. Good facilities and clean bathrooms, they have a cute little cafe at the entrance of the castle. Beautiful view on the old town and great history.

    Visited these archaeological remains while in Amman, located on top of one of the city’s seven hills. The queue for buying tickets was short and the site wasn’t crowded. The Umayyad Palace is well-preserved but the Temple of Hercules comprises only two complete columns. Other structures are either in very poor condition or are not excavated. Unfortunately the site is not policed, with tourists allowed to climb over the ruins, further escalating their decay. I personally think that this is a very poor decision. The views across the city are good, enhancing the appeal of this place. Plus it’s only 2JD to enter. There is also a place for refreshments at the entrance and toilets. There are far better archaeological sites to visit nearby, but this is OK to spend an hour if you’re in Amman.

    The Amman Citadel (Arabic: جبل القلعة‎, romanized: Jabal Al-Qal'a) is a historical site at the center of downtown Amman, the capital of Jordan. The L-shaped hill is one of the seven hills (jabals) that originally made up Amman.Evidence of occupation since the pottery Neolithic period has been found and the hill was fortified during the Bronze Age (1800 BC). The hill became the capital of the Kingdom of Ammon sometime after 1200 BC. It was later occupied by various empires that of the Assyrians (8th century BC), Babylonians (6th century BC), the Ptolemies, the Seleucids (3rd century BC), Romans (1st century BC), Byzantines (3rd century AD) and the Umayyads (7th century AD). After the Umayyads came a period of decline and for much of the time until 1878 as the former city became an abandoned pile of ruins only sporadically used by Bedouins and seasonal farmers. Despite this gap, the Citadel of Amman is considered to be among the world's oldest continuously inhabited places. The Citadel is considered an important site because it has had a long history of occupation by many great civilizations. Most of the buildings still visible at the site are from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods. The major buildings at the site are the Temple of Hercules, a Byzantine church, and the Umayyad Palace. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was built on the hill in 1951. Though the fortification walls enclose the heart of the site, the ancient periods of occupation covered large areas. Historic structures, tombs, arches, walls and stairs have no modern borders, and therefore there is considerable archaeological potential at this site, as well as in surrounding lands, and throughout Amman. Archaeologists have been working at the site since the 1920s, including Italian, British, French, Spanish, and Jordanian projects, but a great part of the Citadel remains unexcavated.

    Gorgeous location with historical architecture and the best views of Amman! The tickets were quite cheap and I highly recommend coming and seeing the Citadel especially at golden hour as the light hits the buildings so nicely plus it’s great for photos. Moderately busy depending on what time you go, but not too crowded.

    What an amazing place. In most other countries it would be fenced off but here you are free to roam around it all and really get a feel for the place. The temple of Hercules has a couple of impressive columns still standing that are visible from the whole surrounding area. The hand of Hercules is big which gives an idea of how big it must have been. With the Jordan Pass it costs nothing to get in, otherwise it is 3JD for visitors. It's really worth a visit, make sure you wear a hat!

    One of the oldest site in the city of Amman close to downtown. Going here you can get a view of the new city and the old city. Lots of historical archaeological sites here dating back to the time of the romans. Coming here before sunset will have a better view and change in scene. Also hearing the call of prayer of across the city is meaningful.

    This is a nice tourist place in the heart of Amman, and it can be easily accessed within 15 mins if you are around the city. You can spend 2-4 hours wandering around the ancient ruins and visiting the museum, the view is spectacular as you have 360 degrees over the old city. There’s a nice restaurant there serving authentic food and drinks, and there’s also a convenience store at the entrance selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs. Public restrooms are just next the store. Buses and car parking is available in front of the place free of charge. There are guided tours if you wish to know everything about the place in main languages.

    One of the most beautiful places to visit in gorgeous old city of Amman. The main attraction is the incomplete Roman temple of Hercules. We visited this during sunset and were in awe of this place. It’s located on a hilltop from where you can see the whole of Amman. Also the tall Jordanian flag 🇯🇴 which is an attraction in itself. There’s a parking at the site and also a restaurant which has great views. This is a Must visit attraction for tourists in Amman. Don’t miss it !!!

    Highly recommended to visit. This place is probably the best thing that you can see in Amman. Nice archaeological area with great viewpoints on city. There is a lot of space and during non season visit you meet only a few people. On every important location you can find information board with description in English, so you don't need guide. And if you have Jordan Pass, the entry is free (included), of course. Enjoy your time. (visited: January 2023)

    An amazing historic place to visit in Amman. You will definitely enjoy it. A breathtaking view of the capital. It is quite hot in this time of year so refresh yourself with lots of water. The entrance fee is 3 JOD. If you prefer, you can easily arrange the private tour in the complex. Everything started here. I came during the day where not so many people inside, but I was advised later to come here before the sunset and enjoy it. There is an archaeological museum inside you should also check. A truly must visit place!

    It’s like traveling through time, seeing what civilizations before us have achieved! It’s a really great place to visit if you’re in Amman but you have to take into consideration the prices of the tickets vary if you’re a foreigner, as for the Jordanien the ticket will cost 25 Qiresh(0.25 dinar) but if you’re a foreigner the ticket will cost you around 5 dinar.

    Worth a visit. Amman is situated on top of a hill and commands dominating view of large areas all around. Specifically constructed 'view point' with protective railing gives fantastic view of Amman City spread out below and across the valley all along the slopes of neighboring hills. From the large stone structures erected near the entry gate with information about occupancy of the citadel site, it appears that the site has been in continuous occupation since 5500 BC, Neolithic age till the present day. A period of more than 7500 Years. The hill is dotted with archaeological sites. Mute testimony to the various empires, rulers and kings who have left their imprint in the form of buildings and structures on the citadel. All these sites have become tourist attractions in their own right. We did not see all of them. The ones which we saw were Temple of Hercules Umayyad Audience Hall and Throne room. Open Cistern, Though not an archaeological site yet another attraction visited by us was Jordan Archaeological Museum. Over all experience at Amman citadel was Good. Time well spent.

    Amazing 🤩 site to see!!!! The nice walk and gorgeous 360 degree view of the city makes it alone with the visit. But on top of that you get to see incredible ancient ruins. All for just three JD too! I recommend coming here at sunset so you get the view of everything in the day and the night. Beautiful at both times. I highly recommend you visit this spot. Enjoy

    The citadel is not big, it took us around an hour to see all the ruins and there is a small museum at the top. Located on the hill it offers great vistas of Amman. From here you can easily spot the Roman amphitheater below and one of the world's longest flags. We wisited during noon and there wasn't much shade on the site so wear a hat, bring water with you and protect your skin. At the entrance you can find a small cafe/shop with refreshments and a toilet nearby.

    It's a nice view from the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy Amman and the Amphitheatre. Inside you will find an interesting measure with treasures going back to 10.000 BC. It's nice to just walk around and enjoy where the humanity did started and where we are right now. It makes you reflect a lot. The Jordan Pass works here.

    A great place to visit. The views were amazing from the top. The museum was pretty informative and worth a visit especially for a welcome break from the heat. Drink plenty of water. There is parking and toilets. Cafe is located at the entry. The Jordan pass will get stamped at the ticket booth for free entry.

    In addition to the spectacular remnants of the land's rich history, the Amman Citadel overlooks remains of the amphitheatre and also offers a spectacular panoramic view of the city and the terrain. For history enthusiasts and those with a thirst for knowledge who want to know more about the place, there are certified tour guides who can be engaged for a nominal fee. If you go during the daytime, wearing a hat is recommended. While the weather is generally amazing (unless it's mid-summer, of course) it does get quite sunny.

    Beautiful site packed with history! Glad to have visited the site. It also gives a Panasonic view of the entire Amman City. We didn’t have enough time to visit the Roman amphitheatre but we’re glad to have a good sighting of it through the Citadel.. Be sure to visit with good sun protection if visiting during the day.. it can get really sunny!

    After leaving the theatre, you can walk up to the hill by using the stairs, just look at the signs or ask the locals. Again, it is free for Jordan pass holders. There is a very interesting museum, a mosque and a coffee shop at the entrance and toilets. A fantastic view to town. Not recommended to wheelchair.

    (Translated by Google) Jabal Al Qalaa is one of the most attractive areas for tourists in Oman, both on the external and internal levels. One of the main celebrations that took place at the Jordan Festival, it is one of the main festivals of the Jordan Festival, due to its location overlooking most areas of the capital Amman - especially downtown, where the area will be linked to the Roman amphitheater through a light rail (ground train) That will be allocated to transport tourists from the Roman amphitheater area to the castle mountain and vice versa. (Original) يعد جبل القلعة من أكثر المناطق جذباً للسياح في عمان، سواءً على المستوى الخارجي أو الداخلي. وتقام على أكتافه الحفلات الموسيقية، حيث يعتبر أحد أماكن الاحتفال الرئيسية التي حدثت في مهرجان الأردن، نظراً لموقعه المطل على معظم مناطق العاصمة عمان- وخاصةً وسط البلد، حيث سيتم ربط المنطقة بالمدرج الروماني من خلال سكة قطار خفيفة (قطار أرضي) أو ما يعرف بالعربة التي سيتم تخصيصها لنقل السياح من منطقة المدرج الروماني إلى جبل القلعة وبالعكس.

    Great location with amazing views. Really a nice day trip. My only two problems with it are that it closes before sunset, and no activities are held in it, or like a small higher quality cafe that can be enjoyed during the day and during the evening as well. It could be very nice to go for a coffee with the family or girlfriend there. We went today at 6:30 before it closes, and the sunset views are incredible!

    This Citadel is really worth visiting.You will marvel at the fact that it lies at the heart of the city and has been inhabited continuously since the Bronze Age. It lies on the summit of the highest of the seven Hills for which Amman is famous. The view from the Citadel is just fantastic. The Roman Amphitheatre is also visible from here. We spent hours taking in the view, as we were lucky to have been there on a clear sunny day. There is a church, a mosque and of course the famous Roman temple of Hercules. You will also enjoy walking though the ruins and taking numerous pictures. There is a small museum, which can be accessed for a fee. Though small, it is remarkably informative. There is also a cafeteria that serves snacks and coffee. Taxis are always available outside, so if you are a tourist, and not part of a tour group, you will not have transportation problems.

    This place should be in your travel must visit ,very nice view , The Citadel is considered an important site because it has had a long history of occupation by many great civilizations.Most of the buildings still visible at the site are from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods.The major buildings at the site are the Temple of Hercules, a Byzantine church, and the Umayyad Palace. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was built on the hill in 1951.

    The Amman Citadel is high on the hill in Amman. Ruins from different periods are scattered around. We wanted to come to take a photos and to see the Hercules hand which we had seen in photos on Instagram. It looks gigantic! Come to find it’s all a matter of perspective. It’s actually about the size of a beach ball. Jordan pass is accepted. The bathrooms are by the entrance and are clean enough. The entire place is not that big and can be seen in around an hour.

    The most important historical site in Amman. It's absolutely necessary to visit this location during your time here. I saw couples posing for wedding photos, tourists enjoying the panoramic view of the city, locals stopping by for a stroll. You can quite easily spend the whole day here in reflection. The views of the city are absolutely breathtaking. There is a well-curated museum on site and it's a nice way to get some shade and learn a little more about Jordan's history. Highly recommended.

    Without a doubt the best attraction in Amman. Temple of Hercules, a small museum, a beautiful view of the city all in one. I recommend coming here near sunset as the sky will be red and the sunlight will shine on the houses in the city. Also know that Jordan pass gives you free entry here and the orange juice at the cafe is better than most.

    Lovely place and quite big. Easily accessible by taxi. If you’re going to walk then there’s a steep hill to get up to it. Taxi drivers that hang out here may try and trick you into paying a lot of money for a taxi back. If so, call an Uber. The place itself is quite large with lots to see and some clear signage but not a lot and some signs have faded or are broken. Some parts are in good condition but, as with many ruins in Jordan, it could do with more investment to bring it up to a good standard. Much more could be done here to understand and restore it but what’s here is good. The museum is small and worth a look but nothing incredibly impressive here. Beautiful views of the city and the theatre. Bring water if it’s a hot day. Overall I’d recommend it - an interesting place with a lot of history, nice ruins and great views.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Amman Citadel is an absolute marvel, and visiting it was an incredible journey through time! This historical site in the heart of Amman, Jordan, left me completely captivated with its rich history and breathtaking views. Perched atop Jabal al-Qala'a, the Amman Citadel offers panoramic vistas of the city that are truly awe-inspiring. The view alone is worth the visit, allowing you to appreciate the modernity of Amman while surrounded by ancient ruins that date back thousands of years. Exploring the Citadel's ruins is like stepping into a living history book. From the fascinating remnants of various civilizations, including the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods, to the majestic Temple of Hercules and the impressive Umayyad Palace, every corner holds stories waiting to be discovered. I was particularly fascinated by the Archaeological Museum, which houses a remarkable collection of artifacts, sculptures, and pottery, shedding light on the region's rich cultural heritage. The site is thoughtfully maintained, and the information boards provide valuable insights into the significance of each structure and era. The knowledgeable guides are eager to share their expertise, making the experience even more rewarding. Whether you are a history enthusiast or just curious about the past, the Amman Citadel promises an unforgettable journey. It's a must-visit destination in Jordan that offers a perfect blend of historical significance, architectural marvels, and breathtaking views. A five-star experience without a doubt!

    Astonishing views on downtown, the old city and an exceptional angle of the roman theater. Great architectural details and a nice informative museum with super interesting old sculptures and crafts some dates to more than 100 thousand years… Friendly staff and security guys and a nice path to walk around with spots to rest. Not sure about the price for foreigners but it’s definitely included in the jordan-pass. *no wheelchair access unfortunately

    The citadel was a miss for me. They have a policy where you have to be there, buy the ticket, then enter an hour before the Amman Citadel will close. I arrived 15-minutes late and just got a glimpse outside before sunset. It has a great view outside the gates anyway. Please remember to come early and don’t miss the opportunity to visit this historic piece in Jordan.

    It was windy when I went. The view of the city was beautiful. It helped that I had a guide to explain the history and significance to everything. You can climb on and walk through everything. There is also a small museum at the top. I learned quite a bit. I'm curious how the people destroyed the statutes at any of the locations a long time ago, though. Nobody will talk about it, but I want to know if there was like a celebration or anger. It would be nice to place myself back in time. It's very fascinating.

    The Amman Citadel is a historical site at the center of downtown Amman, the capital of Jordan. The L-shaped hill is one of the seven hills that originally made up Amman. Evidence of occupation since the pottery Neolithic period has been found and the hill was fortified during the Bronze Age. Wikipedia The Citadel is worth visiting, the scenery is great. Lots to see and learn. Great ancient Roman ruins and the museum although fairly small is really interesting. A beautiful place that shows the rich history of Jordan. If you are visiting Amman - Jordan...A visit to this place is highly recommended. More photos will be uploaded soon.

    For a few JD, you get a wonderful glance into history and beautiful views of the city. (Also included in Jordan Pass.) Several stunning structures, lots of explanations on plaques (in English, too) and a very cool vibe overall. Definitely worth making the trek. Just be careful outside if you want a ride back down the hill; the taxis will *severely* overcharge tourists. It shouldn't cost more than a few JD.

Thanks to the pottery found there is evidence of its occupation even from the Neolithic; but you can also visit Roman, Byzantine, Umayyad structures, etc. The site being on a hill also offers a nice 360 ​​° overview of the city.

    It's a historical place which should be visited by all people from all over the world. It is in the heart of the capital Amman where you can view the Roman amphitheatre which is also a historical place but the Citadel has a panoramic view over Amman where you can see most of the downtown and mountains of Ammm. Also the weather in the Citadel is mild in summer where people can have fresh air especially in the hot summer nights. While in winter the weather is very nice in the daytime. So the Amman Citadel is worth visiting in all seasons of the year. The ministry of antiquities has taken care of this place by making the necessary restorations to the place and made it worth visiting and seeing. I strongly recommend visiting the Amman Citadel in the first opportunity you can go there to enjoy the experience of watching downtown of Amman and the Roman amphitheatre as if you are looking from the sky . It's an amazing astonishing experience which will be unforgettable in the whole of your life. I believe that when you visit the Amman Citadel, you will wish to visit it so many times in different times of the day and night and in different times of the year. Enjoy yourself.

    (Translated by Google) Amman Citadel is a historical landmark that talks about four periods of time according to my observation Byzantine Romanian Umayyad Ottoman The castle has a museum that simulates these periods, in addition to the fact that the castle overlooks the Roman amphitheater in the center of the beloved capital Amman, and large parts of the capital, and the castle enjoys its height on a hill of Amman, which distinguishes it with fresh air. I advise everyone to visit it, and the entrance fee for Jordanians is symbolic, and it is a quarter of a dinar per person.

    In love with the place The Amman Citadel (Arabic: جبل القلعة‎, romanized: Jabal Al-Qal'a) is a historical site at the center of downtown Amman, the capital of Jordan. The L-shaped hill is one of the seven hills (jabals) that originally made up Amman. Starting in 1995-6, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Jordan in partnership with USAID began a project to conserve and restore this site to benefit tourists and the local community.[15] The Amman Citadel is also the site of Jordan Archaeological Museum, which is home to a collection of artifacts from the Citadel and other Jordanian historic sites.

    A fantastic place to visit especially near the end of the day. I was there last week and it was practically empty. Guides at the entrance try to entice you to hire but they are not persistent. Rather very friendly. But as there are English-language placards all over the massive site, and with my Lonely Planeg guidebook, I felt sorted. The views over Amman are very nice and the light is amazing for photos especially late afternoon. Included in the Jordan Pass. I took a taxi from the centre for 5JOD (probably overpaid but too tired to argue). Walked back downhill. The Jordan Archeological Museum on the site is worth a peek in but it’s old-fashioned with glass cases and block of text on placards everywhere. Best for intense history lovers like myself.

    Beautiful tourist spot! If you're visiting Amman, you have to go here, definitely don't miss it. We took an Uber who dropped us off right at the entrance, and there was no queue. You can enter the site with a Jordan Pass so I'm not sure what the one off entry price is. It's really big and you can easily spend an hour or two here. It's high up so you get a great view of the whole city, and artwork on some buildings. There's also a museum to your left as you enter. One thing that did surprise me was how small the Hercules Statue fingers were. Some pictures you see online makes them look massive. *For the ladies not from the Middle East*: Be sure to wear loose clothing as it's not as touristy as you think compared to Petra and Wadi Rum. I had a lot of long and obvious stares.

    this place is almost the most famous attraction in Amman including Romans ruins and Hercules temple with the famous hug hand. but what is more beautiful in this place is the panoramic view for the city its taking your breathing and really so nice. you can spend couple of hours there also there is a museum you can visit it.

    An amazing spot in Amman for any family/friends/tourists to hang out in the early mornings especially when the weather is sunny and very nice or in the sfternoons or sunsets time if it was open! There is a nice restaurant to have a traditional Arabic breakfast but you need to get there early if you are going during weekends as it can be full and you won't find tables easily unfortunately! And a very important information is that you need to buy the citadel tickets before going to the restaurant as it's a part of the citadel ruins area even though they have different entrance! Anyway back to the citadel... you need to wear a comfortable shoes 👟 and be prepared to walk around and enjoy the views and the ruins! There are a few benches in a few spots where you can sit to rest or enjoy city views around you! And I must say I went there twice , once in a weekend and another time in the middle of the week and I liked more in the middle of the week as it wasn't crowded as much as in the weekend!

    Amazing view and story behind this! I highly recommend to go at the afternoon due to the hot weather. Pick a taxi to go there because it's a big uphill!!!

    Great place to visit. Historical hilltop Fort with caves dating back to the Bronze Age followed by Greek, Roman, and Ottaman buildings. Beautiful setting with nice walking paths and lots to look at.

    The Amman Citadel is an archeological site at the center of downtown Amman, the capital of Jordan. No ticket needed if you have Jordan pass. It is the home to the earliest development areas of the Middle Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Hellenistic Age, the late Roman Age and the Arabian Islamic Age. The Citadel stands beside the Jordan Archaeological Museum and a cluster of several other structures can also be seen in Citadel, Amman. Cannot miss this place if you are in Amman. The views of the old Amman and new Amman are fantastic. Highly recommend.

    One of the many tourist sites you must see when visiting Amman. Historical remnants of the Roman empire are visible, and the museum also tells the tales. The view of the city and the coliseum across the street is also an addition to the many photographic locations around. Avoid the taxis outside, they will hustle big time. If you can, take an Uber. It would be good if wifi is available at the location.

    The citadel locates in a high place in Amman and the view from there is fantastic. Luckily from 16 May to 31 Aug the opening hours is 8 am - 8 pm. You can see most of the interesting places in Amman from there and the information plates are very detailed, written in both English and Arabic. The entrance fee is 3JD for foreigners and it really worths it! It has multiple ancient ruin sites, a museum, coffee shop and toilet inside. You can see a lot of young people there, reading book, or just sit there relaxing. I even saw photographers taking pre-wedding photos for a couple near the church. It is a must-see in Amman and spending some time there is very comfortable.

    The Amman Citadel is a must-visit historical site in Jordan. Its strategic location atop a hill provides a breathtaking view of the city of Amman. The site offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region, with ruins dating back to the Bronze Age. Visitors can explore the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, and the Byzantine Church, among other fascinating ruins. The museum on site is also a great resource for learning more about the history of the citadel.

    a very nice place to go in amman and spend the day with friends and family. a rich historical place full of ruins and rocks with a mesuim inside of it. the best timing to go is before sunset because you can watch the sun go down from a very special place. the entry fee is cheap and there are many services there from snacks to drinks to hot beverages. I'd totally recommend this place mostly for tourists because they can see a special part of amman from a very special location. for photographers best timing to be there is in the morning because there are less people there.

    Apart from the awe-inspiring vestiges of the region's abundant history, the Amman Citadel provides a vantage point for the amphitheater's remnants and boasts an incredible panoramic vista of both the city and the landscape. For individuals passionate about history and seeking to delve deeper into the site's story, certified tour guides are available for a modest fee. If you visit during the daytime, it's advisable to wear a hat. Although the weather is typically delightful (except during mid-summer, naturally), it can become quite sunny.

    I absolutely loved it here. Felt like a getaway from the beeping and chaos of the city. Could easily be in Rome which is incredible. I didn’t use a guide which I was quoted to be 60 JD! Entry on the Jordan Pass. I spent over an hour here exploring and checking out the small museum. Disappointing that Jordanians do not look after anything, desperate for tourism and take money for every little thing. Start taking some pride in your rich history.

    This one of the many "must sees" in Amman. Located in the heart of the old city and close to the Roman Theatre. If you have Jordan pass you enter for free. Nice views of the city.
