  The Church of the Martyrs was built during the first half of the 6th century AD along the Roman road that crossed ancient Madaba. The church incorporates reused architectural elements such as columns, capitals and bases. The church has an extensive mosaic floor that unfortunately was damaged by iconoclasts in the 8th century. However, enough as survived to give an idea of the high level of expertise that the mosaicists of Madaba possessed in their workmanship. The name of the church is the original name of this Byzantine church as attested by a mosaic medallion in the vestibule of the church. Visitors can enter to this church from the Burnt Palace/Department of Antiquities door or from the Greek Orthodox souvenir shop around the corner. Entrance is free.
