The modern village is Khirbet Fahil . Location Nestled within the lower foothills of eastern slope of the Jordan Valley, approximately 100 km to the northwest of Amman, lies the site of the ancient city of Pella. After winding through the mountains and forest terrain of Salt , Zai , Ajlun and Kanja into the green, rolling hills of the Jordan Valley it is easy to see why Pella was so successful. The valley has some of the region's most fertile land and the topography provides a natural shield from winds and harsh winters. In addition, the area has an unusually ample supply of water due to moderate rainfalls and a number of perennial springs.
Shepherds water their sheep at the large spring at the base of the tell.
There are two tells on the site. The Odeon , built during the first Century CE, had inlaid yellow and pink stones on its facing walls. The public baths, located just north of the Odeon . Pella was famed for her healing, warm-water baths. A number of tombs and family mausolea.
