The Colonnaded Street, or Cardo Maximus, forms the main north–south axis of ancient Gerasa within Jerash’s archaeological site. Extending from the Oval Plaza toward the city’s northern monuments, it once organized movement through the Roman city, with temples, public buildings, and shops opening along its route. Long rows of surviving columns reveal the street’s monumental scale, while the original stone paving preserves visible wheel grooves from centuries of traffic. Its strong central perspective, repeated column shadows, and contrast between pale limestone and the surrounding hills make it one of Jerash’s most recognizable views.
