Even if the number of mosques in Amman didn't outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. The unique architecture caught my eye once and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafieh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself "Is that an Armenian church?" I finally went on an scavenger hunt and found it.
