Tourists walk around the hilltop Citadel archaeological site in Amman, Jordan, on Friday. The site, which towers over central Amman, includes some of the earliest fortifications known to man: a Byzantine Church dating from the 6th or 7th century, the Temple of Hercules dating from 161-180 AD and the Umayyad Palace complex, dating from around 720 AD.
