Mosaic Floor, Jerash The Greco-Roman city of Jerash (ancient Gerasa) is one of the most important and best preserved Classical sites in the Near East. The city's major buildings and monuments are in good condition and the huge extent of the site is impressive. Restoration and reconstruction of important elements has continued throughout the 20th century and today the ancient ruined city sits immediately alongside the thriving modern town of Jerash. The sprawling site is dominated by it's more significant remains, which include the seemingly numerous columns of the main colonnaded street and oval forum, along with two fine amphitheatres, several temples and imposing triumphal arches.
