Great TempleThis temple ruin in the city center is one of the largest structures in Petra at 7,000 square meters. It was built in the late 1st century BC and is still being excavated.
High Place of Sacrifice This is one of the most easily accessible high points in Petra. A platform served as a venue for religious ceremonies and an altar held sacrifices of incense, libations - and perhaps children.
Petra Church Amidst Petra's ancient temples is a Byzantine church dating from the 5th and 6th centuries. Still being excavated, Petra Church contains some extraordinary mosaics.
The Monastery (al-Deir)Misleadingly named based on crosses scratched on the wall, this is a huge, rock-carved Nabatean temple built around the 1st century BC.
The Treasury (al-Khazneh)Believed by the Bedouin to contain a pharoah's treasure, the Treasury is a beautiful tomb or temple carved entirely out of the living rock.
Obelisk TombThe obelisks of the Obelisk Tomb guard a rock-hewn cave containing graves; like the god-blocks, the obelisks probably represented a god and divine energy in material form. Between the four obelisks is an eroded figure in a niche.
Qasr el-BintThe "Palace of the Pharaoh's Daughter" (another fanciful Bedouin name) is a large, square Nabatean temple dating from the late 1st century BC in Petra's city center.
