Old village built on the Roman Acropolis, now home to the Museum of Archaeology and a visitors' center with stores
The old village of Umm Qais dates back to the Ottoman Empire and most of the stones used for its construction came from the ancient city. It is built on the Roman Acropolis, the highest and richest part of the city. The village was bombed during the Six Day War and its inhabitants were relocated further away. Today, this ghost village houses the archaeological museum and a visitor centre with craft shops.
