Odeon, Amman - a photo on Flickriver

Odeon, Amman

            The Odeon sits in Hashemite Square adjacent to the much larger amphitheatre and accessible with the same ticket.

Amman's city centre may have a modern feel today but is actually one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the World, with evidence of its classical past (as the ancient city of Philadelphia) still visible in certain areas.

The most important remaining monument of the city's classical past is the stunning Roman amphitheatre. The theatre was built the reign of Antonius Pius (138-161 AD) and could seat up to 6,000 people. Built into the hillside, it was oriented north to keep the fierce sun off the spectators.
