The Amman Citadel, situated on one of Amman, Jordan's seven hills, functions as an archaeological site displaying remnants from various historical periods and empires.
The site features structures from pagan, Christian, and Islamic eras. Notable elements include ruins of an ancient Roman temple, dated to the second century. Beside these ruins stands a colossal stone hand, believed by researchers to be part of a larger statue of Hercules.
Additional historical structures on the grounds include the remains of a Byzantine church and an Umayyad palace.
