The Correlation Between Sacredness and Architecture in Madaba, Jordan
This research is conducted to highlight the prominence of sacred architecture in Madaba, Jordan, by bringing awareness to the tourism sector and the local public regarding Madaba’s attraction sites and showcasing its holy significance to the Christian community worldwide and its effect on the public interest. Few of the prominent cases were chosen for the research as they are the main attractions in Madaba of which they are littered with mosaic floorings and walls that have religious, public figures, monarchs, living conditions, and conquest tales. It also discusses what makes Madaba sacred enough through its historical timeline and mosaic art ornamentation significance to encourage tourism and demand recognition from the public. The research uses qualitative and quantitative analysis and the author’s perspective from observations as a method of collecting information from the perspective of the public and input into the sacred archaeology of Madaba and the recognition of its existence among locals. The observation resulted in noticing a positive factor between the existence of these historical and religious architectural and artistic sites with it being a tourist attraction. The contradiction stands in how it exists within the referral tourist agencies and governmental action plans to dismantle this negativity.
