So close to the Temple of Hercules

These are the remains of a 6th century Byzantine church. There's a bunch of columns with decorative tops. Feels very nice to walk around in the soft morning sun with the city rolling beautifully around the citadel.

Remains of a church with columns.

Very pretty Byzantine church remains! I highly recommend walking up a small hill just to see it as it’s all included in 1 ticket fee

The entire Citadel is a wonderful place to explore!

This church now in ruins is from 550 AD period. It is said that some of the material used for this chuch was taken from adjacent Temple of Hercules

Not much to see here but a nice stop on the way

The Byzantine church at the Amman Citadel was built by 550 AD. Building elements from the nearby Hercules' Temple were used to erect the church. In fact, one of the southern "columns" is a reused upside down cylindrical block with a Greek inscription. Obviously, the church is one of the many historical landmark inside the Amman Citadel National Historical Site and not a functioning house of worship. The cluster of buildings surrounding the church belong to the Umayyad period. This church is very photogenic combined with a backdrop of the Temple of Hercules or the Umayyad Monumental Gateway.

Old church but now only ruins. But can see many pillas. This is just near the hercules temole and the musium.

Those are the ruins of a small Byzantine church, probably from the 6th / 7th century. You could see some parts of its mosaic floor.

Amazing place

Ruins. Family friendly.
