The Temple of the Winged Lions, across from the Great Temple, was likely the cult centre of the goddess Al-Uzza — its name comes from the carved sandstone capital of winged lions found here, now displayed in the Petra Museum.
The compound includes workshops and living quarters. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan reach it on the main circuit, and full package tours to Jordan explain its link to the Nabataean pantheon.
