Hidden in a small valley in the west of Jordan, Pella is another proof of Jordan's rich and long history. While not as impressive as Jerash or Petra, Pella is still worth the voyage.
I descended, and went straight to the remains of the West Church on the other side of the valley. Little remains of this church, and I continued to the small mosque built in commemoration of the battle of Fahel that was fought here in 635CE. Centuries before that battle, Pella had been the destination for Christians fleeing the Roman army persecuting them in Jerusalem. But after flourishing in the following centuries, Pella declined, and the 747 earthquake decimated the population and importance of the city. People started living here around 5000BCE, which makes Pella a truly historical place. Wandering from the mosque down to the remains of the old town, and further down the old church dominating the view of the valley, the emptiness of the place made me feel its history even stronger.
