Situated on the highest hill in Amman (850m above sea) this is more like a ruins site than a citadel. Still it offers some impressive sights like the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace, with a bonus spectacular view of Amman.

 

The city itself.. not much captured as most of the time I was on taxi... just a glimpse of what the city has...

 A very modern mosque built in 1989 by King Hussein for King Abdullah. The only mosque in Amman which I can go inside. A fine example of modern day Islamic architecture (compared to those ancient ones I saw before in Egypt)

 

A very well preserved and certainly one of the highlights of Amman. This Roman Theatre is large enough to host 6k people, and surprisingly not many tourists and hawkers roam about the place so I managed to get some peace and tranquility while I enjoyed my time there!
