Antique market hall with triple doors opening onto an octagonal courtyard, featuring a fountain - a lively place to visit

After crossing the Oval Square and taking the Cardo maximus, the alley widens, marking the entrance to the Macellum. These are the ancient halls, one of the busiest places in the city. A triple door opens onto an octagonal courtyard with a fountain in the centre. The lion heads were used as trestles for the merchants' stalls. One of them bears the engraving "211" on one side, indicating the probable time of its construction. Many agree that the market was used until the arrival of the Umayyads in the 7th century.

Magnifique
Probablement l'une des agoras les plus spectaculaires. Sa superficie est très grande. On imagine l'effervescence qu'il devait y avoir ici il y a des siècles. La visite du site sous une chaleur écrasante est d'autant plus impressionnante. A ne pas manquer !

On arrive sur une immense place ovale le Forum, place du marché pavée, entourée de colonnades avec au centre une seule colonne. Superbe et une vue d'ensemble grandiose depuis le temple de Zeus. Notre 1ére cité romaine. Beaucoup de familles jordaniennes en ballade.
