  • The Madaba Mosaic Map still serves today as floor of the Greek Orthodox church of St. George. The mosaic contains the earliest extant representation of Byzantine Jerusalem, labeled the "Holy City." The map provides important details, with the cardo, or central colonnaded street and the Holy Sepulchre clearly visible. This map is one key in developing scholarly knowledge about Jerusalem after its destruction in 70 AD. The mosaic panel enclosing the Map was originally some 15.60 by 6 m, of which only a quarter of the total is preserved. Some have suggested that this map of Holy Land may have been useful to pilgrims, to help them peregrinate from one holy place to another.

  • The Madaba Mosaic Map still serves today as floor of the Greek Orthodox parish church of St. George, built in fact in 1896 A.D. over the remains of a Byzantine church, whose dating is probably to be set at the end of 6th or at the beginning of 7th century A.D. The mosaic panel enclosing the Map was originally some 15.60 by 6 m, of which only a quarter of the total is preserved. Some have suggested that this map of Holy Land may have been useful to pilgrims, to help them peregrinate from one holy place to another.
