Madaba

Madaba is a moderately-sized city in Jordan located southwest of Amman. Madaba is known as "the City of the Mosaics" for the many mosaics that have been uncovered throughout the city. The most famous mosaic, made in the 6th century out of two million stone pieces, is the Madaba Map, a 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land now located in the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George.
