Amman, Jordan light fixture
Part of the first municipal stairs in Amman.
When Amman was declared the capital of Transjordan in 1921, royalty, wealthy families, businessmen, army officers, and politicians began moving onto the hill to the west and above downtown, named Jabal Amman. It slowly declined starting in the 1960s as development continued to move west. In 2005, the Greater Amman Municipality recognized Jabal Amman as a 'heritage attraction point' and set forth plans to preserve and develop the historic hill.
