Temple of Hercules, Amman Overview
The temple of Hercules is a historic Roman temple located in the Amman Citadel. It was built in 162-166 AD and is the most important surviving Roman structure within the Citadel. It is larger than any surviving temple in Rome but is mostly in ruins. The site also contains the remnants of a colossal stone statue of Hercules. Hire a guide at the entrance for a better understanding of the site.
The Hercules statue would have been over 12 m tall once. All that remains now is a fist and his elbow but it is enough to give you an idea of the scale of the statue. It is the perfect spot to watch the sunset as well. The rest of the Citadel is also filled with places worth visiting, such as the Roman Theatre and the Museum, located only a short distance away. You can take a taxi to the Temple from any part of the city.
