Umayyad Palace gate, Amman, Jordan

The Umayyad Palace is a large palatial complex from the Umayyad period, located on Citadel Hill in Amman. Built during the first half of the 8th century, it is now largely ruined, with a restored domed entrance chamber, known as the "kiosk" or "monumental gateway."

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

looks fine even in its rather eroded state; must have been splendid in its prime and so carefully built
