  Built around the year 135 AD, but never fully completed, the Temple of Artemis is perhaps the most magnificent and iconic of all of Jerash's monuments. Its massive 1.5 meters thick and over 13 meters high portico columns are absolutely jaw dropping. Arab troops transformed the Temple of Artemis into a fortress to check the Frank's advance. The fortress was however taken and severely damaged by King Baldwin II in the 12th century.

  Impressive, better than Rome itself!

  The ruins are great, love the history but the constant pestering by people trying to sell crappy trinkets in every corner of the park nearly ruined it for me.

  Very cool little temple. You can actually see the pillars teeter in the wind (they put a spoon under one that moves). Find the mosaic floor complexes SW of here, in the hillsides.
