Most of the walls of the houses are made of local specialty white stones. It is very clean as a decoration or decoration. There are scattered meadows or small gardens on the mountainside and on the slopes. Amman is a famous ancient city in West Asia. As early as more than 3,000 years ago, Amman was the capital of a small kingdom called Raba Amon at that time. It can be seen that the people who lived here at that time were the people who believed in the Egyptian sun god Amon. It was conquered by the Macedonian Empire in ancient Greek times and renamed "Ferradelphia". Later, the Romans came here and ruled for 300 years. As Amman is located on the main road between the east and the west, it became a bustling commercial center at that time. After World War I, Amman became the capital of Jordan. Amman is divided into two parts, the old city and the new city. The old town preserves many relics of the Roman Empire, such as the Colosseum, the Roman Amphitheatre and the palace. The beast is round, and the entire ground is paved with stones, flat and solid. Near the Colosseum is the amphitheater. The entire theater is built with boulders, and the stands are stepped, which can accommodate five or six thousand spectators. Standing on the top of the theater, you can see many places of interest nearby. The theater has 3 floors of stands, and every seat can clearly see the performance on the stage. The ruins on the ground also include the market, the temple of Zuyus, the temple of Ertels, and the churches, ponds, and baths of the Eastern Roman Empire. Most of the new urban areas are villa-style buildings, including hotels, gymnasiums, cultural palaces, theaters, memorial halls, etc. These modern buildings with novel designs make this ancient city look young and vibrant.
