Hadrian's Arch of Jerash

Hadrian's Arch: the triumphal gateway built for an emperor's visit in 129 AD.

Hadrian's Arch greets every visitor to Jerash — a monumental triumphal gateway of carved limestone built in 129 AD for the emperor's visit, its broken cornice still soaring over the approach road.

It frames the hippodrome and the city beyond. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pass it at the entrance, and full package tours to Jordan start the tour here.
