  This construction dates back to the first half of the 8th century. It's a large part in ruins. Interesting without being, however, spectacular. Esta construção data da primeira metade do século VIII. Está grande parte em ruínas. Interessante sem ser, no entanto, espetacular.

  The Umayyad Mosque is an ancient mosque dating back to the Umayyads. Located in the center of the Jordanian capital of Amman, specifically within the walls of the citadel of the city, which also contains many Umayyad monuments and the other civilizations that have followed the city for thousands of years. It was built in the eighth century AD, in an area adjacent to the Umayyad palace, where some of the facades and columns of the mosque are still visible. The layout of the mosque was designed as a square shape, and the Umayyad designers paid extra attention to its interior or exterior architecture, whether in terms of scale, structure or structure. The choice of signature style of the mosque is surrounded by arches made of graceful columns, adding to its interior architecture a beautiful design. But the most important aspect of this approach is the decision to deflect the signature of the mosque building from the axis of the other buildings of the complex, thus indicating the ability of the high architecture and its efficiency in employing what is known as Nuance. On the other hand, the decision to design the mosque to be adjacent to the front yard, of the decisions of the remarkable importance of the important, it is separated and isolated from the noise of the field adjacent to him, and lift it from the level of the arena with an artificial platform, and the establishment of physical presence, through degrees spacious and extended, created in front of the gallery of the mosque , And its wall decorated with decorative activity, I want to devote that attendance and raise the value of the building in a schematic and functional. These days, only a few columns and façades remain of this huge and luxurious building. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Jordan restored the building in the early 1990s to be the current form. المسجد الأموي هو مسجد أثري يعود تاريخه إلى فترة حكم الأمويين. يقع وسط العاصمة الأردنية عمّان، وتحديدًا داخل أسوار قلعة المدينة، التي تحوي أيضّا آثارًا أموية عديدة ولما قبلها من حضارات أخرى تعاقبت على المدينة منذ الآف السنين. تم تشييده في القرن الثامن للميلاد، في منطقة مجاورة للقصر الأموي، حيث لاتزال بعض واجهات وأعمدة المسجد واضحة إلى الآن. تم تصميم مخطط المسجد ليكون مربع الشكل، كما أضفى عليه المصممون الأمويون اهتمامًا زائدًا على عمارته الداخلية أو الخارجية، إن كان ذلك لجهة المقياس أوالتكوين أو لناحية البنية الانشائية. كما أن اختيار أسلوب توقيع صحن المسجد محاطًا من جميع الجهات بأروقة محمولة بأعمدة رشيقة، أضفت على عمارته الداخلية نسقاً تكوينياً جميلاً. لكن الأهم في مقاربة ذلك التأكيد الحضوري، هو قرار انحراف توقيع مبنى المسجد عن محور مباني المجمع الأخرى (القلعة)، وبالتالي تبيان مقدرة المعمار العالية وكفاءته في توظيف ما يُعرف بعنصر الفارق الدقيق (بالإنجليزية: Nuance)، وتشغيله كأحد عناصر التكوين المؤثرة. من جهة أخرى، كان لقرار تصميم المسجد ليكون متاخمًا للساحة الأمامية، من القرارات اللافتة ذات الأهمية الفائقة، فهو بفصله وعزله عن ضجيج الميدان المحاذي له، ورفعه عن منسوب الساحة بمصطبة اصطناعية، وترسيخ حضوره الفيزياوي، من خلال درجات فسيحة وممتدة، خلقها أمام رواق المسجد، وجداره الزاخر بنشاط تزييني، أُريد بها تكريس ذلك الحضور والرفع من شأن قيمة المبنى تخطيطيًا ووظيفيًا. أما هذه الأيام، فلم يبق من هذا البناء الضخم والفخم إلا القليل من الأعمدةوالواجهات. وقد قامت وزارة السياحة والآثار الأردنية بإعادة ترميم المبنى في بداية التسعينات من القرن الماضي ليكون بالشكل الحالي.

  Tip, if you have young people do not let them see the Luxor from above at the dome because it is open, and the one falls and dies, and leave the Ministry of Tourism .. The scenery is so sweet, and the atmosphere is beautiful .. نصيحة،اذا عندك صغار لا تخليهم يطلعوا عالقصر من فوق عند القبة لأنها مفتوحة،ورح يقع الواحد ويموت، ويخلف يا وزارة السياحة.. المنظر حلو كثير، والجو جميل..
