Latin Church in As-Salt, Catholic church in As-Salt, Jordan
The Latin Church features high cross-vaulted ceilings with eight triple rounded columns adorned by Corinthian capitals carved in yellow limestone.
Built between 1870 and 1886, this religious structure stands as the first Catholic church in Jordan, designed by French missionary Jean Morétain.
The Latin Church operates alongside a monastery, missionary facilities, and a private school, contributing to education and religious life in As-Salt.

The church building exhibits an architectural combination where its tower with a cross stands next to a minaret from a neighboring mosque.
