On top of one of the hills of Amman, you can find ruins of ancient cultures.
Behind, the apparently only remains of an Umayyad city within an existing city have been discovered, and reconstruction work is still going on. What used to be the remains of one of the typical Umayyad palaces, has been covered by a dome. From here, I walked across the old souq, and stumbled upon the remains of a Byzantine church. Behind, I could already see a few standing columns of the Roman temple dedicated to Hercules. From here, you also have a nice view on the city and the Roman amphiteatre down below.
