Visit The Roman Theatre in Amman Welcome to the Roman Theatre in Amman, one of the most amazing sights in the city. It was built in the second century CE (Common Era) in what was the Roman city of Philadelphia. The theatre was divided into three parts: important people sat in the part nearest the stage and soldiers sat further away; ordinary people sat far away at the top of the theatre but because the theatre was so well designed they could still see and hear the actors Near the stage you will find the Jordanian Museum of Popular Traditions, and the Amman Folklore Museum where you can see traditional costumes and handicrafts. You can get to the museum on foot from the centre of downtown, the modern part of Amman, or get a taxi from any of the central hotels. |
