The Byzantine church at the Amman Citadel was built by 550 AD. Building elements from the nearby Hercules' Temple were used to erect the church. In fact, one of the southern "columns" is a reused upside down cylindrical block with a Greek inscription.

Across the street opposite the entrance of the church there is the entrance of a residence thought to be related to the officials of the church.

Obviously, the church is one of the many ancient historical landmark inside the Amman Citadel National Historical Site and not a functioning house of worship.

The cluster of buildings surrounding the church belong to the Umayyad period.

This ruined church is very photogenic combined with a backdrop of the Temple of Hercules or the Umayyad...

بالقرب من المتحف إلى الجنوب توجد الكنيسة البيزنطية الصغيرة. المعبد من 6 ج. فقط الأسس وبعض الركائز الكورنثية تبقى. من الواضح أنه كان يحتوي على أرضية من الفسيفساء وفقًا للنقوش ، ولكن لا يمكن رؤية أي منها هنا. دمرت معظمها من جراء الزلازل. الشيء الوحيد الذي يبرز هو بنية نصف دائرية طويلة.ربما يرجع تاريخ أطلال كنيسة بيزنطية إلى القرن السادس. بقي القليل جدًا من المبنى ، فقط بضعة أعمدة ذات تيجان على الطراز الكورنثي ، وأجزاء قليلة من الجدار وقليل من الأشياء الأخرى ؛ ومع ذلك ، فإن السير بين البقايا الصامتة للمبنى جميل ، والذي ، مثل بقية الموقع الأثري ، للأسف مهملة قليلاً وتكتسحها الأعشاب الضارة. ربما يمكن الاهتمام بكنز مثل هذه الحديقة الأثرية.الكنيسة البيزنطية في جبل القلعة إحدى الكنائس الأثرية البيزنطيةفي العاصمة الأردنية عمّان. تقع داخل أسوار قلعة المدينة، التي تحوي أيضّا آثارًا من حضارات أخرى تعاقبت على المدينة منذ الآف السنين. تم تشييدها في القرن السادس للميلاد، وتحديدًا في عام 550 م في منطقة مجاورة لمعبد هرقل.

التصميم

تتبع هذه الكنيسة التي تعود في تاريخها إلى القرن السادس الميلادي مخطط البازيليكا الذي يتألف من صحن وجناحين. وفي نهاية الصحن من الناحية الشرقية توجد حُنية المذبح التي كان يتقدمها حاجز الهيكل، أما رواق الأكنثس التي تزين التيجان الكورنثية فقد تم نقلها من معبد هرقل واُعيد استعمالها في بناء الكنيسة، كما تم رصف الجناحين ببلاط حجري. ينتهي كل جناح بغرفة مستطيلة قد اُضيفت في العصر الأموي بعد قرن من الزمن، أما الصحن فقد رُصف بمكعبات فسيفسائية ملونة، وهو ما كان شائعًا في العهد البيزنطي، وهي الآن مغطاة للحماية. يظهر قرب حًنية المذبح بقايا كتابة إغريقية أمكن قرأتها كالتالي: "... رُصفت بالفسيفساء بحماسة وعمل...". توجد داخل الكنيسة عدةصهاريج لتخزين مياه الأمطار، وقد استمر استعمالها في العصر الأموي.إحدى الكنائس الأثرية البيزنطية في العاصمة الأردنية عمّان. تقع داخل أسوار قلعة المدينة، التي تحوي أيضّا آثارًا من حضارات أخرى تعاقبت على المدينة منذ الآف السنين. تم تشييدها في القرن السادس للميلاد، وتحديدًا في عام 550 م في منطقة...

These are the remains of a 6th century Byzantine church. There's a bunch of columns with decorative tops. Feels very nice to walk around in the soft morning sun with the city rolling beautifully around the citadel.
