The Oldest Geographic Floor Mosaic in Madaba

Within Jordan, no other location boasts a richer array of historical monuments than this captivating city.
At the heart of Madaba lies St. George’s Church, where the most renowned mosaic, depicting the map of Palestine, mesmerizes visitors with its intricate beauty.
Originally composed of over two million individual pieces, the mosaic, though weathered by time, still offers glimpses into its intricate design and the rich tapestry of history it portrays.
Its detailed depictions encompass the major biblical sites of the Middle East, from the grandeur of Egypt to the sacred landscapes of Palestine.
Today, this art form remains vibrant, evident in numerous workshops primarily situated in and around Madaba. Within the city, there exists an institute dedicated to training the next wave of artists in stone restoration and mosaic production, thereby preserving the rich historical and cultural heritage.
