Madaba Map
The Madaba Map is a famous mosaic map located in the church of St. George in Madaba, Jordan. Created in the 6th century, it depicts a detailed representation of the Holy Land, including important cities and geographical features. The map is made up of over two million pieces of colored stone and is considered one of the oldest surviving maps of the region.
This ancient artwork is particularly significant for its historical and archaeological value, as it provides insights into the geography of Jerusalem and surrounding areas during the Byzantine period. The Madaba Map is a key resource for scholars studying early Christian history and the development of cartography.
