This long narrow town runs along the hillside of the rich
agricultural valley of the same name and is known for its
pleasant outdoor restaurants. Scattered around the village
are the ruins of many monasteries and churches. Mar Butros
is identifiable by its large rust-colored stones. There are
also the partially preserved Deir Mar Tedros and the ruined
church of the Virgin in the so-called "Haret al-Matawli"
or Shiite Quarter.
Another church of the virgin, known as Saydet al-Kharayeb,
or "Our Lady of the Ruins" was originally decorated
with wall painting. |
