The Oval Plaza of Jerash

The Oval Plaza: Jerash's unique elliptical forum, framed by 56 Ionic columns.

The Oval Plaza is Jerash's signature space — a unique elliptical forum ringed by 56 Ionic columns, linking the Temple of Zeus, the Cardo and the theatres in one grand civic knot.

It is the ideal place to orient yourself. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan start the ruins here, and full package tours to Jordan use it as the meeting point.
