MARTYRS MUSEUM

It is perhaps no coincidence that the Martyrs' Memorial, commissioned by King Hussein in 1977, was set up in the huge park that includes the national stadium, the Olympic swimming pool and many other sports facilities. The youth must not forget their ancestors who fought for Jordan's independence and the fate of the Arab world. A museum and memorial, the large golden stone cube typical of Amman houses a permanent exhibition that traces the country's military history from the Great Revolt of 1916 to the present day.
