It demonstrates a practical example of restoration and rehabilitation for the Roman Nymphaeum in Amman, which is considered asthe biggest monument of its kind in the region. The Nymphaeum was suffering from different deterioration factors and forms that affect its state of conservation and was considered a visual pollutionin the downtown. However, through a joint project with the Hamdi Mango Centre for Scientific Research at the University of Jordan, Department of Antiquities and Greater Amman Municipality in supportingthe preservation efforts of the monument, it was possible to waive and preserve large areas of the site,
which needed urgent solutions of restoration and conservation and to regenerate its role within thecurrent archaeological context. The project is focusing on creating a new model in the downtown of Amman for the revival of urban heritage into a cultural forum open public space “Nymphaeum Archeological Park” that will fostersocio-economic benefits to the community. The project will establish a new comprehensive methodology for cultural heritage preservation in Jordan based on community and stakeholders engagement with incorporation of all aspects of documentation, management, capacity building, conservation, rehabilitation, interpretation and presentation while monitoring and evaluation withregular maintenance to be enforced. This approach will close the cycle to ensure proper sustainability with compatible modern usage for archaeological sites.
