The Agora

The Agora: Jerash's marketplace plaza beside the Zeus terrace and Oval Plaza.

The Agora, on the Cardo's east side near the Oval Plaza, was one of Jerash's marketplaces — an open commercial square framed by columns and shops, generations of traders passing beneath its cornices.

Its outlines are best read from above. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pause on the Zeus terrace to see it, and full package tours to Jordan point it out from the plaza.
