The Temple of Zeus, built around 162 AD on a stepped terrace beside the Oval Plaza, was Jerash's most important early sanctuary. Its rebuilt columns and platform give a sense of the original scale.
The terrace is also the best vantage over the forum. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan start their tour here, and full package tours to Jordan include it with the Artemis Temple.
