Center pic is of the large amphitheater in Petra - built by the Romans that seats 875. Note rear-center where the Romans carved out some of the exterior common tombs to make room for more seating.
At the end of Petra "city" you can hike up 900+ steep steps carved into the rock to the top of a mountain and see a single structure called the "monastery". It is the largest structure in Petra - bottom pic. For scale - note the person at bottom center. It is huge & I think more impressive than the Treasury. Worth the difficult upward trek!
