AL-HUSSEINI GRAND MOSQUE
Large historic mosque with 2 high minarets, overlooking the old "Downtown" district and under renovation since 2021
Amman's historic Grand Mosque watches over the old "Downtown" quarter. The lower town spreads out around it and its two high minarets. It was built in 1932 by King Abdullah I in Ottoman style, on the foundations of an ancient mosque dating back to 640. The latter is said to have been built on the site of the former Philadelphia Cathedral. It has been under renovation since 2021, and no one knows when the work will be completed.
