The Mosaic Map, also known as the Madaba Map, is a 6th-century mosaic floor depicting a detailed map of the Holy Land, located in the St. George's Church in Madaba, a town southwest of Amman. Crafted from approximately 2 million pieces of multicoloured stone, it highlights significant biblical sites with remarkable accuracy, making it a treasured artifact of early Christian art. Allocate time to appreciate the intricate details, including the city of Jerusalem and surrounding regions. Morning visits are ideal for avoiding crowds, and you can combine the trip with a visit to the nearby Madaba Archaeological Park to see other early Christian mosaics.
