Amman Attractions
Description
Venue: Roman Theatre When: Daily
Amman's Roman Theatre is the most impressive legacy of the Roman Philadelphia and was built under Antonius Pius (138-161AD). Cut into the rock of the hill, it once seated 6000 people for performances and is also thought to have had religious significance for the city dwellers. It is still used today for theatrical and musical productions.
The area around the amphitheatre is also home to two small but quite interesting museums: the Museum of Popular Tradition and the Folklore Museum.
