Marvel at the Engineering of the Umayyad Open Cistern in Amman

Umayyad Open Cistern is a remarkable ancient water reservoir located within Amman’s historic castle grounds. Dating back to the 8th century, this massive circular structure was ingeniously designed to collect and store rainwater for palace use. Visitors are captivated by its impressive size, waterproof plaster lining, and the central measuring pole, which highlight the advanced engineering of the Umayyad era. Thoughtfully restored, this point of interest offers a striking window into Jordan’s rich archaeological heritage.
