Oval Plaza, Jerash

Oval Plaza, Jerash

The colonnaded plaza of Jerash was built during the reign of Hadrian, who visited the city in 129 AD. Located near the south end of the site, it connects the temple of Zeus to the Cardo, the city's grand north-south avenue.

The splendid plaza is seen here from the west, in the vicinity of the South Theatre; the beginning of the Cardo, barely visible in the distance, extends out to the left of the photograph.
