点评:This palace is located approximately 17 klms west of Amman. The origins of the palace appear to be somewhat of a mystery although it is believed to have been built for Harkanus who was a member of the powerful Tobiah family. It is thought to be one of the few examples of Hellenistic architecture in Jordan.
The original structure, albeit unfinished, was two storeys (approximately 14 metres) high whilst the base was approximately 40 metres by 20 metres. It is thought that the palace was left deserted following the death of Harkanus. The white limestone building blocks were sourced from the surrounding hills to build the palace.
Of note is the size of some of the blocks, the largest measuring 7 metres x 3 metres, and the carved animals on the exterior walls. Of the interior, very little remains. It is believed that the building was badly damaged by an earthquake in the 4th century AD. It was partially rebuilt in 1976.
Would not just specifically traves to see this palace even though it was free to enter.
翻译:这座宫殿位于安曼以西约 17 公里处。宫殿的起源似乎有些神秘,尽管人们认为它是为强大的托比亚家族成员哈卡努斯建造的。它被认为是约旦为数不多的希腊化建筑之一。
最初的结构虽然未完工,但有两层(约 14 米)高,而底座约 40 米 x 20 米。人们认为哈卡努斯死后,宫殿就荒废了。白色石灰石建筑砖块是从周围的山丘上采集来建造宫殿的。
值得注意的是一些砖块的大小,最大的砖块为 7 米 x 3 米,外墙上雕刻着动物。内部几乎只剩下很少的东西。人们认为这座建筑在公元 4 世纪的一场地震中严重受损。 1976 年部分重建。
虽然免费入场,但不会特意前来参观这座宫殿。
