Madaba

Madaba…the City of Mosaics!

An enormous number of Byzantine mosaics have been uncovered throughout Madaba, but none compares with the Madaba Map. The Map mosaic was made during the 6^th century showing the whole of the Holy Land. It was discovered in 1896.

It was during the Byzantine-Umayyad period that several Christian churches were built. The Church of the Map and the Church of Prophet Elijah among them.

The mosaic map consists of about 2 million colored stone tiles and is preserved in the floor of the Greek Orthodox Basilica of St George.

Throughout Madaba can be found hundreds of 5^th – 7^th century mosaics depicting flowers, plants, exotic 

beasts, mythological scenes and many other subjects.

Madaba was once a Moabite city and was mentioned in the Bible in the books of Numbers (21.30) and Joshua (13.9). The wife of Prophet Moses, a Moabite woman, came from this area.
