The Roman Theatre of Amman was built in the second century, when Amman was the city of Philadelphia, and could seat about six thousand people. It is cut into the hillside of Jabal al-Jawfa in downtown Amman. The theatre is still used for performances, and the Jordan Folklore Museum and the Museum of Popular Traditions occupy its two wings. The Hashemite Plaza in front of it is a popular meeting place.
