Roman relief

A carving of a cornucopia (symbol of wealth) near a doorway was probably reused from an earlier Roman temple nearby as it was common to use readily available stones from ruins of temples to construct new structures.

Ajloun Castle

Impressive Muslim fortress, built by the Ayyubids on Saladin's order in 1183 AD, later expanded by the Mamluks in the 13th century.
