21-metre-high arch built in 129 for the Roman emperor Hadrian and reconstructed in 1980, a gateway to the Gerasa site

This 21 m high arch was built in 129, in honour of the Roman Emperor Hadrian visiting the Decapolis. The plans called for the arch to become the main gateway to the city, but it was never extended to the south. The openings probably each supported a wooden gate. The arch was reconstructed in the 1980s by Jordanian archaeologists. Note the crown of acanthus leaves carved above the bases of the pillars. Hadrian's Arch is now the entry point to the site of Gerasa.

Jerash ou Gerasa. Premier édifice que l'on voit en arrivant par la route d'Amman, la porte d'Hadrien. Parking sur la droite au niveau de centre des visiteurs (Jordan Pass).
Superbe site romain, très beau.
