Below the Citadel is the magnificent Roman amphitheatre, an
impressive relic from ancient Philadelphia that is cut into the
hill and can seat up to 6,000 people. The theatre is still used
occasionally for events today. Two cultural museums form part of
the complex: the Jordan Folklore Museum, which has exhibits on
traditional life, and the Museum of Popular Traditions with
traditional costumes and mosaics from 4th to 6th century Jordan
churches.
