About Pella
Pella was inhabited from the Neolithic period and grew into a major Bronze Age and Iron Age city in the Jordan Valley. It flourished as a Hellenistic and Roman city, one of the ten cities of the Decapolis, and later served as an early Christian bishopric. An earthquake in 749 devastated the settlement, ending its role as an urban center.
