St. George's Church in Jordan is a renowned religious site located in the town of Madaba. This historic church is famous for its extraordinary mosaic floor, which includes the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land.

Dating back to the 6th century, St. George's Church holds immense significance for Christians and art enthusiasts alike. The church's mosaic floor, known as the Madaba Map, depicts a detailed representation of biblical sites, cities, and landscapes in the region. This masterpiece provides valuable insights into the geography and religious context of the Holy Land during the Byzantine era.

You can admire the intricate details of the mosaic, which stretches across a significant portion of the church. The map showcases iconic locations such as Jerusalem, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of Jordan and its significance in biblical narratives.
