About
The Odeon in Amman, Jordan, is a small Roman theatre dating back to the 2nd century CE. With a seating capacity of 500, the Odeon was likely covered by a temporary wooden roof to protect audiences from the elements. Situated next to the larger Roman Theatre, it highlights the Roman influence on public entertainment architecture in the region. Recently restored alongside the nearby Nymphaeum fountain, the Odeon continues to serve as a venue for cultural events, such as the Al-Balad Music Festival. This site underscores the enduring architectural legacy of Roman civilization and its ongoing cultural significance in contemporary Jordan.
