The Temple of Hercules crowns the Amman Citadel with two towering Roman columns visible across the capital. Built in the 2nd century AD, its giant marble hand and elbow fragments hint at a colossal statue that once stood here.
Sunset turns the columns golden, with panoramas over downtown Amman. It is a short walk from the Citadel entrance. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pair it with the Citadel Museum, and full package tours to Jordan include it on the first-day circuit.
