The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis: Jerash's patron goddess temple, with famously floating columns.

The Temple of Artemis crowns Jerash's highest terrace, dedicated to the city's patron goddess. Three of its colossal columns famously sway in the wind — a sword blade pushed between stone and capital will visibly bend.

The platform looks over the whole city. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan include it after the Cardo, and full package tours to Jordan highlight the swaying column trick.
