Actividades en Gerasa

The history of Jerash is a long and detailed one that is best discovered whilst exploring the ruins and museums of the city itself. The city was conquered by General Pompey in 64 BC when it was named Gerasa. Gerasa grew in wealth and later became a colony in the third century. Due to an earthquake and a number of crusades leading up to the 12th Century, the city’s ancient sites were not discovered again until the end of the 19th century.

哈德良凯旋门位于马路右侧，是进去景区最先看到的景观，这是公元129年，为了迎接罗马皇帝哈德良的来访，杰拉什人专门在城市南部兴建了一座雄伟的凯旋门，命名为“哈德良凯旋门”，这也是古城南边的主要入口。

椭圆形广场是约旦杰拉什古遗址中著名的建筑，位于柱廊街的起点，建于公元一世纪。广场是一个不对称的铺满石块的空地，长90米，宽80米，用于重大集会，两侧排列两排近10米高的罗马柱，使其更显气派，从各个角度看，都拓展了视野的空间。广场中央立有一个残柱，可能是什么标志物的遗迹。

Jerash is a city in Jordan, north of the capital Amman. Inhabited since the Bronze Age, it’s known for the ruins of the walled Greco-Roman settlement of Gerasa just outside the modern city. These include the 2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch, the Corinthian columns of the Temple of Artemis
