Citadel Hill affords a wonderful view across the Old City, with its Roman amphitheatre in the valley below and the beautiful black and white Abu Darwish mosque on the far horizon at the top of Jebel Ashrafiah. Citadel Hill itself is the site of the ruins of the Temple of Hercules, the remains of Roman walls and an Arab castle, which dates from the Omayyad dynasty of the 7th century. Also on Citadel Hill is the Archaeological Museum, housing antiquities which date from prehistoric times, right through to the 15th century.
