Southern Cardo Maximus

After passing through the Oval Plaza, we enjoyed walking along the Southern Cardo Maximus road.

We were amazed that the stone road still has grooved tracks worn into its surface from chariot wheels!

Similarly amazing are the drains and ancient sewage channels under the street. Sidewalks were also constructed on the sides for foot traffic.

Although the road is lengthy, we didn’t notice the length because along the walk were numerous other interesting ruins to stop and explore.

Column lined main boulevard in Jerash ruins.

Jerash is overwhelming

La via principale che dalla piazza ovale posta a sud, taglia tutto il sito fino alla porta nord. Splendidi il colonnato restaurato e la pavimentazione, questa invece originaria, che riporta persino i segni delle ruote dei carri che vi transitavano. Meraviglioso.

يمتد شارع "الأعمدة" في مدينة جرش الأثرية٬ على مسافة تبلغ حوالى 800 متر، وهو الشارع الرئيس في موقع جرش الأثري.
والذي كان يعتبر السوق التجاري الأكبر بتاريخ الحضارة الرومانية

The "Columns" Street in the ancient city of Jerash extends for a distance of about 800 meters, and it is the main street in the Jerash archaeological site.
Which was considered the largest commercial market in the history of Roman civilization

Il cardo massimo è la via composta da 500 colonne che conduce dal foro alla porta nord ed ha una lunghezza di circa 800 metri. Il colonnato è stato restaurato negli anni '60 mentre la pavimentazione è quella originale.

Il bellissimo Cardo Massimo che che collega la Piazza ovale con zona sud del sito ...... bellissimo da percorrere nella sua lunghezza ammirando i resti degli edifici che gli si affacciavano.

Spettacolare via piena di colonne, bellissima!

Прекрасная улица Колоннад, или Кардо Максимум ведет от Овальной площади до Северных ворот. Оригинальный камень под ногами, следы колесниц, 500 великолепных колонн. Однако большинство туристов не проходит ее до конца, а расходится по сторонам, чтобы осмотреть древнеримские постройки. Поэтому дальняя часть улицы не вытоптана ногами пытливых туристов.

Восхитительное зрелище! В античности Гераса был развитым и оживлённым торговым городом, частью Декаполиса. Сильное землетрясение в 747 г. н. э. уничтожило большую часть Джераша. Город был окружен длинной, около трех с половиной километров, крепостной стеной. С юга на север от овального форума шла прямая, как стрела, центральная улица - Кардо Максимус.
Там под камнями, которыми вымощена улица, сохранилась античная канализация. Обалдеть.!

Sin duda impresionante.

شارع الاعمده شارع جميل ويتكون أكثر من 500 عامود

Cardo Maximus.
Cardo is a Latin name given to North – South Streets in ancient roman cities. Cardo Maximus was the MAIN or CENTRAL North – South Street. Generally lined with tall majestic stone columns.
Ancient city of Gerasa in Jerash has such a street. It runs all the way from oval Plaza in the south till the existing limit of the archaeological site in the north. It has one major crossing and three side roads. One of which meets the main entrance of Temple of Artemis.
We walked along the pillared north – south main street (Cardo Maximus) from Temple of Artemis till Oval plaza and father followed ancient streets right up to Hadrian's Arch and beyond on our way to Visitors car park !! On the way came across the major crossing which had
The portion of Cardo maximus through which we walked, many pillars, particularly from the right were Missing. May be they will be erected during the renovation work which is going on there.

Very nice

Old road north-south direction, of jerash. This is laying from oval plaza to north gate.
Its amazing work by roman. Both side has many to see.
Its long about 800m and wide about 5m. Both side has many coloums. Well design road with big rock on the floor. Both sides has holes to grop water at the rainy days

Il Cardo Massimo è la bellissima via colonnata che unisce la piazza ovale meridionale alla porta settentrionale. Via colonnata in buono stato da visitare assolutamente per apprezzare il cardo Massimo nella sua complessità bisogna osservarla dall'alto dal tempio di Zeus.
