Some remnants of its more ancient history are also visible, such as the Roman theatre around which the downtown area of Amman grew up. On a hill above Amman is the citadel, along with a patchwork of Roman, Byzantine and Ummayad ruins, testament to the range of civilisations which have left their mark on the country.
The citadel is also home to the Jordanian Archaeological Museum with displays on the Dead Sea scrolls and other finds, some dating to prehistory. The Museum is due to relocate in the next couple of years.
