    Umayyad Palace is located inside what is known as the Amman Citadel. The palace gives visitors a glimpse into life during the Umayyad period in what is now Jordan. It is a popular photo spot, as both inside and out offer spectacular images.

    This palace was built in the first half of the eighth century, during the reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (724-743), and the construction requirements were: stone, mortar, and architectural decoration: engraved plaster, mosaic, and the total area: 21,000 m2. This huge building was used as a palace, and at the same time the residence of the prince or ruler and the seat of government in this part of the Umayyad dynasty. In front of the palace there was a mosque whose preserved elements still simulate the facade of the only hall of the palace that is still standing. And the construction process is usually based on the reuse of old materials: huge stones and columns, a widespread matter in the Middle Ages, whether it was in the Islamic world or in castles and churches in the Western world. The Umayyad Palace of Amman is also distinguished from the rest of the “desert palaces” by being influenced by Persian culture, especially the two intersecting halls under a dome, each of which is preceded by an iwan. Only one of the two iwans remains today. The two halls were standing in the far north of the palace, and the first was for the public office and the second for the private office. In the cross-room, which is still preserved, we find clear influences from Sassanian art as well as in the semi-circular arches and also in the corners of the domes, some of which are decorated with stucco decoration .. such as small columns without bases and arches in the shape of sawtooths, similar to them in the Harrana Palace in the Jordanian desert. The Umayyad Palace, in terms of its combination of Western and Eastern traditions, is a cornerstone of the new combination of decorative elements and building techniques and a connecting point between East and West.

    Unfortunately I was not able to go in due to the time however, from the outside, it looks stunning! I saw a few photos of the inside on Google Maps so I had an idea of what it would look like but I would have liked to go inside and have a look for myself!

    The mosque is a unique contribution to Islamic architecture with the unique design of the dome being found in examples around the world centuries later. It is absolutely stunning and a nice place to gather your thoughts, cool down and appreciate the wonder of ancient Jordan. The walls of the mosque were designed to ventilate the space so it is nice and cool. It is also heavily restored.

    The preservation of this site is good, and the entrance hall has been reconstructed very sensitively. There's a whole complex here, including a colonnaded arcade and shops. Very impressive site, plus wonderful views of the city. The ground is often quite uneven, so not suitable in many places for those with difficulties walking.

    As we walked through the ruins of the Citadel, we discovered a massive palace complex that had a beautiful dome and massive doors! The doors were so heavy that we could only open them together. We reached the reception hall of the Umayyad Palace. It was built in 720 AD, but did not last long. It was destroyed by an earthquake 30 years later, and just a year later, the Umayyad dynasty was destroyed. The Umayyad dynasty ruled a great Arab empire in the 8th century. This palace was one of the centers of their reign. Byzantine, Roman, and Arabic styles are combined in the architectural features of the palace, reflecting a mix of cultures and influences from that era.

    It's one of the largest and oldest mosques in Aleppo, a great piece of art with its interiors and wooden roofs. Unfortunately it was heavily damaged during the civil war causing massive fires inside and the minaret to collapse. The mosque is under reconstruction now, with slow progress. This is how it looks from the top of Aleppo citadel

    The complex was probably built during the reign of the Umayyad Caliph Hisham, between 724 and 743 AD and was used as an administrative centre and governor’s residence. The audience hall is the most significant part of the whole palace edifice. It is one of the most famous archaeological buildings not only at Amman citadel but in all of Jordan. It was built by Abdel-Malik Ibn Marwan to be used as a reception hall where he could meet his expeditions and army leaders. In 1998 the hall was roofed by a modern wooden dome to allow the structure to be used more easily for modern cultural events.

    Loved learning about the different eras of history witnessed by this wonderful city. We didn't have time to make it to the museum, but walking around there are signs to read, indicating which structure is related to which era (Byzantine, Roman, etc.). I would have loved to see even More informational plaques, and there was a bit of unnecessary rubbish in some corners that could have easily been picked up (ex: large oil cans) but overall I'm very happy we made it here.

    Jabal al-Qala, one of Amman's seven mountains, is a great place to take some great photos of Amman. Here you can see the Umayyad palace in a fairly good condition. It was interesting to see that in November, lizards are still sunbathing on the stones and the green lemon are still on the tree.

    This is part of Amman Citadel. The Umayyad Palace is likely the final structure constructed within the Amman Citadel. Dating back to the Umayyad Caliphate, it stands out as an architectural departure from the Roman era, showcasing the distinctive features of Islamic architecture. It once served as both a residential and administrative center, and today, it is remarkably well-preserved, making it a worthwhile destination for visitors.

    The Umayyad Palace is a fascinating site to explore, boasting a rich history and intriguing architecture. We found it convenient to use Uber to reach the palace, and then enjoy a leisurely walk down to the Old Town. This allowed us to take in the local sights and sounds while moving from the palace to the bustling heart of the city. Overall, a visit to the Umayyad Palace offers an insightful glimpse into the past and makes for an enjoyable start to exploring the Old Town area.

    (Translated by Google) Hisham's Palace is located in Palestine, 5 km north of Jericho, and is considered one of the most important tourist attractions in Palestine. The palace built by the Umayyad Caliph Hisham bin Abd al-Malik in 724-743 CE and Walid ibn Yazid 743-744 CE was the seat of the state. It is known that the Islamic Umayyad dynasty ruled an empire stretching from India to France, and as is the case with most of the Muslim caliphs, Caliph Hisham preferred Bin Abdul Malik, freedom of the desert over city life in the capital, Damascus. The palace is a collection of buildings, bathtubs, mosques, and large halls (Original) يقع قصر هشام في فلسطين على بعد 5 كيلومتر إلى الشمال من مدينة أريحا ويعتبر من أهم المعالم السياحية في فلسطين. كان القصر الذي شيده الخليفة الأموي هشام بن عبد الملك سنة 724 –743 م والوليد بن يزيد743 – 744 م مقرا للدولة، فمن المعروف أن السلالة الأموية الإسلامية قد حكمت إمبراطورية تمتد من الهند إلى فرنسا، وكما هو الحال مع معظم الخلفاء المسلمين فقد فضل الخليفة هشام بن عبد الملك حرية الصحراء على حياة المدينة في العاصمة دمشق. القصر هو عبارة عن مجموعة من الأبنية وأحواض الاستحمام والجوامع والقاعات الكبيرة

    (Translated by Google) The Palace, probably built by the Umayyad Arabs around 720 AD, was the residence of the governor of Amman and a vast complex of royal and administrative buildings destroyed by an earthquake in 749 and subsequently never completely renovated. The only building that has not been completely destroyed is the "audience hall", built by the Umayyads on top of an earlier Byzantine church; is the best preserved structure of the entire complex and is topped by a dome which was rebuilt by a group of Spanish experts after long discussions about whether the dome originally existed or if there was an empty space in its place, in the end it is decided for the first hypothesis. (Original) Il Palazzo, probabilmente edificato dagli arabi omayyadi verso il 720 d.C., era la residenza del governatore di Amman ed un vasto complesso di edifici reali ed amministrativi andati distrutti da un terremoto nel 749 e successivamente mai completamente ristrutturato. L'unico edificio non andato completamente distrutto è "la sala delle udienze", costruita dagli omayyadi sopra ad una precedente chiesa bizantina; è la struttura la meglio conservata dell'intero complesso ed è sormontata da una cupola che venne ricostruita da un gruppo di esperti spagnoli dopo lunghe discussioni sul fatto se originariamente la cupola esistesse davvero o se al suo posto ci fosse uno spazio vuoto, alla fine si è deciso per la prima ipotesi.

    (Translated by Google) The Umayyad palace is located at the northern end of the Citadel. It dates back to the 6th or 7th century AD (730 AD) and consists of three different parts. The palace is also believed to have been built on ancient Roman foundations. The palace building contains a reception hall composed of a number of rooms surrounding the main hall, whose walls are adorned with Islamic motifs carved in soft rock. These walls are topped by semi-domes. The palace has two gates: one overlooking an open central square and the other a square square set at the front entrance of the palace.
