Introduction to Sebastia, Jordan
Sebastia is an ancient village in northern Jordan, located in the Sarthe Governorate, about 45 kilometers from the capital Amman. It is known for its rich historical sites, especially those from the Roman and Byzantine periods, such as temples, theaters, and columned streets. Sebastia was once the capital of ancient Samaria and is mentioned in the Bible, attracting many archaeological enthusiasts and tourists.
Historical, cultural and tourist highlights
Dating back to the Bronze Age, Sebastia has experienced a blend of Greek, Roman and Islamic civilizations. Major attractions include the well-preserved Roman Forum, the ruins of the Church of St. John, and Ottoman-era buildings. Surrounded by olive groves, the village offers a tranquil setting for cultural exploration and hiking. A hidden gem of Jordan, it offers a unique historical experience but has relatively few tourists, making it suitable for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path destination.
