Madaba

Madaba is the capital city of Madaba Governorate in central Jordan, located on the Madaba Plateau approximately 30 kilometres southwest of Amman. The city is internationally noted for its extensive Byzantine- and Umayyad-period mosaics, notably a large Byzantine-era mosaic map of the Holy Land displayed in one of its churches. Archaeological work in the surrounding plains is documented through the Madaba Plains Project, with recorded excavations and media resources from Tall al-Umayri (examples cited in Open Context / Archive media items). The supplied sources focus on the city's archaeological and artistic significance and do not document any supernatural occurrences. Reported paranormal phenomena: none are recorded in the provided sources. No witness reports, apparitions, hauntings, named spirits, or folkloric ghost stories are present in the supplied material; the absence of such material is noted in the research notes and reflected here. If future folkloric or investigative sources become available, the phenomena fields should be updated accordingly.
