38 Single Tree on Citadel Hill in Amman, Jordan

The Hill of the Citadel in Amman, Jordan, can trace its history back to the New Stone Age or the Neolithic period around 7500 BC. Once named Rabbath Ammon, it was attack by King David of Israel in the 10th century BC and was subsequently ruled by many Middle Eastern powers. In the third century BC, it was called Philadelphia after a Ptolemaic ruler. Today, the mostly Roman ruins include the Temple of Hercules, a Byzantine church and a mosque. On the pinnacle of this historic hill or jabal stands a single, stoic tree that grows in solid rock and is a sentry to current history.
