Triclinium Interior

Roman Soldier Tomb Complex
Wadi Farasa, Petra

The triclinium, a room where mememorial feasts were held in honor of the deceased, is finely decorated. Its sculpture niches are set between engaged columns that are carved out of the living stone. Like almost all buildings in Petra, the beautiful wall, with its natural color from the rock, was originally painted over.

The triclinium is located on the lower terrace, across from the Roman Soldier tomb. It should not be confused with the Garden Triclinium on the upper terrace.
