Each stone pillar is carved with various patterns and exquisite craftsmanship, which reflects the architectural art of the Jordanians at that time.

The columns were built in the 1st century AD, and some were added in the 7th century. This is the well-preserved column square among the existing ancient Roman monuments in the world, and it is a very magnificent scene in Jerash.

These intricately carved ochre red Collins capitals are beautiful.Jerash · 37.6 km from Amman

With eateries, restaurants, and cafes a visit to the Hashemite Plaza is a pleasant way to spend an eveningNamed after the Jordanian Royal family, the eastern end of the plaza is one of the best places to take a stroll and enjoy the surrounding views. Also, the Amman Book Festival is conducted here each year. The Hashemite Plaza is surrounded by a couple of landmark Roman ruins. The Roman Theatre looks splendid with its 6000 seats looming on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza. On the eastern side is Odeon, the smaller theatre. A short distance afar is Nymphaeum, the Roman public fountain. Besides, the Citadel Hill stands tall above the Hashemite Plaza and offers some great bird-eye views of it from its top.

The Arch of Hadrian is located on the right side of the road. It is the first sight you see when you enter the scenic area. In 129 AD, in order to welcome the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, the people of Jerash built a majestic triumphal arch in the south of the city and named it "Arch of Hadrian". This is also the main entrance to the south of the ancient city.

The Oval Square is a famous building in the ancient ruins of Jerash in Jordan. It is located at the beginning of the Colonnade Street and was built in the first century AD. The square is an asymmetrical stone-paved open space, 90 meters long and 80 meters wide, used for major gatherings. Two rows of nearly 10-meter-high Roman columns are arranged on both sides, making it more imposing and expanding the visual space from all angles. There is a broken column in the center of the square, which may be the remains of some landmark.

Harana Castle is located deep in an area that has been used for farmland. It is a church in a very old castle structure. The entire surrounding area is relatively empty. The castle is not very large, but it has a very long history and the church is also an important building.
