Description
Jerash, located 48 kilometers north of Amman is considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. To this day, its colonnaded streets, baths, theaters, plazas and arches remain in exceptional condition. Within the remaining city walls, archaeologists have found the ruins of settlements dating back to the Neolithic Age, indicating human occupation at this location for more than 6500 years.

Nice to know that no one was in a hurry to tear it down and build a Mac Donald or some other fast food place or mini mall. It is very important that we preserve our past and even more important that we are carefull in what we build and design for the furture. Excellent!
