Great temple, Petra, Jordan
Great temple, 1st century BC, Petra, Ma'an, Jordan. The temple, built on the southern side of the Colonnaded street, was destroyed by an earthquake shortly after it was built. Later, a small theatre in the main building, and a large terrace below with a triple colonnade on each side, were added. Petra was the capital and royal city of the Nabateans, Arabic desert nomads.
