Roman Baths, Amman, Roman archaeological complex in downtown Amman, Jordan.

The Roman Baths in Amman are an archaeological site featuring preserved structures from ancient times, including heated rooms, tiled floors, and remnants of the hypocaust system. The site lies near the Roman Amphitheatre and demonstrates the engineering capabilities of Roman construction techniques.

The baths were built in the 2nd century AD on the bank of the Amman stream, alongside the Nymphaeum and the Roman Theatre. The building disappeared as the city's ground level shifted, and in the mid-1960s the municipality buried the stream under the "Stream Roof" project, completed in 1971. A chance find in December 2020, during drainage works opposite the municipality library, uncovered the furnace and two headless statues; in January 2021 the Department of Antiquities chose to rebury the site temporarily for protection and future study.

The baths served as meeting places where residents gathered to socialize and conduct business alongside their daily routines. People from different walks of life used these spaces, making them important hubs for community life and conversation.

The site is easy to spot near the Amphitheatre and can be accessed on foot when exploring the old city center. The area is small and can be viewed quickly, making it a natural stop during a broader walk through the historic district.

The structures were discovered by chance during modern water drainage work in the city, revealing what had been hidden beneath layers of earth and sediment. This unexpected find shows how many ancient remains still lie buried beneath today's streets of Amman.
