        &lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shortly after moving to Amman &lt;a href=&#34;https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/saint-thaddeus-church-amman/&#34;&gt;I noticed this unique building&lt;/a&gt; on a distant hill and I set out on a sort of scavenger hunt to find it. The walk from downtown to Jabal Ashrafieh is packed with winding streets and steep staircases (some of which go nowhere). To this day the church is one of my favorite landmarks in Amman and I often make the trek there when I&amp;rsquo;m feeling like getting some exercise and exploring the city. I like to think of it as a pilgrimage — it &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a religious site after all!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Saint Thaddeus Church in Amman</title>

         alt=&#34;Armenian church with pointy blue steeple in traditional style&#34;/&gt; &lt;figcaption&gt;
            &lt;h4&gt;Easily one of the most unique buildings in Amman&lt;/h4&gt;
        &lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even if the number of mosques in Amman &lt;em&gt;didn&amp;rsquo;t&lt;/em&gt; 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-Ashrafiyeh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;Is that an Armenian church?&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rdquo; I finally went on an scavenger hunt and found it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
