Towering on one of the jebels of the Amman Citadel, the Temple of Hercules is one of the most historically significant landmarks of the city. Steeped in Roman history, the temple was built when Roman General Geminius Marcianus ruled the Province of Arabia and was perhaps left incomplete during construction. The remnants of its portico’s six columns, with a height of 33 feet (10 meters), are proof of the temple’s monumental proportions. Remains of an unfinished statue of Hercules were found on the site. Made of stone, the statue’s enormous debris of three fingers and an elbow helped archaeologists to determine that the statue was at least 39 feet (12 meters) in height. Destructed by an earthquake, the statue and the temple are one of the most important Roman relics in Jordan.
