Roman Nymphaeum

The Roman Nymphaeum was closed but since we had our guide from the walking tour he knows the guy securing the doors inside the area.

The place is such a bizarre spot because it is in the bustling city of Amman. I like how they still preserve the remaining remnants of the Nympheaum and you can have a closer look on how it was made.

Great spot during Amman historic exploration.

A great roman Nymphaeum that is in a good situation until today even if a full part no longer exist. A must visit for locals and tourists and it is only few meters away from the roman theater so you can't really skip it. Enjoy the magic of this place.

The place is gorgeous, still not open to the public. But worth exploring and learning both it's history and the history of its renovation.

Jordan is beautiful, and these places are a must visit.

Not open in Apr 2024, under repair and renovation

Partially preserved Roman public fountain in Amman, close to the down-town Mosque. Built 2nd century CE. More than worth a visit, and you don't need more than 15-30'. Some info plaques on site (English-Arabic). Free admission, but with opening hours. Photo-opps people: often there are few people around, with a little wait you can have the place to yourselves.

Nice historical place😍

very interesting place in perfect condition well looked after and easily accessible, there is a heritage museum there as well

One of the greatest places from old civilizations.

Nice stones from chistian times

Needs some reconstruction.

Another remarkable remnant of old Roman Decapolis city of Philadelphia, the Nymphaeum of Amman is the largest in the region of its kind. Even in its partial preservation state, it is larger than the public fountains in Jerash, Umm Qays (Gadara) and Petra.

It was built in 191 AD next to a river that now lies under the modern road behind. It was dedicated to the water nymphs. A paved plaza was laid in front of it for public access and gatherings. Architectural decorative elements are laid around that testify of the former grandeur of the edifice. You can appreciate animal and human figures including a lion, lioness and a male bust (the head of which is displayed inside the Jordan Archaeological Museum at the Citadel). One of the small niches still have some original marble cladding next to the ground.

The site was under restoration and preservation from 1993 until October 2018 when the site was reopened as the Nymphaeum Archaeological Park in Amman. There are nine informative signboards and a small 3D model of the Nymphaeum as it would have looked like in its glory days.

The site metal door might be closed during business hours, but a guard is usually inside. If so, draw his attention to open it and enjoy this new renovated addition to the bustling historic center of Amman. A must see with the added bonus of being free of charge.

We came here when it was closed, but the night guard let us in. Probably a good secondary income for him. At night it gets an extra dimension with the lighting, etc. Small but beautiful. Definitely worth visiting.

The Sirens Sabil was built two thousand years ago in the historic center of Amman, near its grand amphitheater, the Odeon Theater and Jabal al-Qalaa. Currently, it is located on Quraish Street - which is the roof of Al-Sail Street, which was built over the course of the ancient Amman River. Small semicircular energies were also placed, which were arranged in two rows one above the other.
The use of the building was not limited to bathing with hot water, as it has a large terrace that is believed to have been used as a theater, in addition to huge structures, statues and other monuments that are still buried. The cities of the Decapolis, a federation of ten Greek-Roman cities located in the Levant, mostly in Jordan

Reminiscent of a great civilization. Alas, it is located near the farmers market and not getting the appreciation it deserves. My educated guess is that tour guides don't make it a stop due to the high traffic around it.

Nice and unexpected

One of the Roman monuments that decorate the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, the way of the nymphs since the second century AD surrounded by hotels, houses and some cafes. All thanks to those who contributed to the preservation of this important historical monument and is one of the beautiful tourist attractions that attract tourists from all over the world

A spectacular sight with plenty of historical artifacts.

The old city. Very dirty place but still my favorite place in Amman
