Temple of Hercules built  between (162-166) AD is one of the most historical site at the center of downtown AMMAN built on one of the seven mountains that  made up Amman, at the site there are signs of human occupation from as far back as the Middle Bronze Age (1650-1550 BC)

Most of the buildings still visible at the site are from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods

i visit this place from when i was a kid , and now i visit it with my family , before it was free to enter ,but  now its 4 $ for tourists

Re: Temple Of Hercules the most historical Place in Amman

Wow! This is amazing- the city, that theater, those pillars, the ruins- how I am so attracted to these historical places!!! Thank you for sharing @OSAMA. Please share more pictures.

Your daughters are adorable! Loved that father-daughter picture the most.

The Roman theater looks amazing and huge.

Team Adrenaline seems fun. Like their pose for the picture.

 

I have a lot of questions to ask. But I think I will save those all for later, when I can finally plan for a Jordan tour. I don't want to just visit Amman, Petra, Kerak and Shobak Castle, Wadi Musa and Wadi Rum, Medaba- the city of mosaic and some other places need to be incorporated in my plan too. 

 

@ErmesT, it was good to know your name and also the meaning of the name. Hercules has always been a legend for heroism to us. I used to love seeing the Hollywood series made after him, back in late 90's. And secretly would love him. Shhhhh.....don't tell that to anybody. LOL
