Downtown Amman, locally known as Al-Balad, is the historic core of Jordan's capital, reflecting millennia of continuous urban development. It contains Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic-era remains such as the Roman Theatre, Odeon, Nymphaeum, and the Grand Husseini Mosque, alongside vibrant markets, coffeehouses, and cultural landmarks. The area serves as a living museum showcasing Amman's layered history from ancient Philadelphia to the modern era.
