Vincent Poon :: Roman Theatre of Philadelphia
 
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!

On one side is the folklore museum...
and the other is the museum of tradtions... seems like ppl are more interested in folklore than in traditions
The theatre was dug out from a hill

From the bottom to the top...
and it is bloody scary to look back down... imagine a gentle push...
Here you can see the city of Amman
The seats are divided into 3 tiers, the bottom is for the rulers, the middle part is for the military, and the top is for the public

This pedestal is supposed to be the sweet spot of the whole theatre
On the eastern side of the theatre is a much smaller scale 500-seat Odeon, served mainly for musical performances
