Temple complex, the central building of which was later used as a church (St George the Blue, or Mar Girgis al Azraq - مار جرجس الازرق) about half way up the road from Mashaqa temple to Aphaca Grotto and temple.  There are in fact five buildings. Following Julien Aliquot's lettering1, they are:-

  • A. A small hellenistic sandstone building,  facing south south east.
  • B. The main peristyle temple, with its sanctuary.
  • C. A small Roman temple immediately east of A, and aligned with it.
  • North of temple B, a mediaeval chapel.
  • East of, and partly overlying temple C, a proto-Byzantine basilica with side-aisles and three apses.

Aliquot also provides an excellent ground plan drawn by G. Charpentier, Mission archéologique de Yanouh et de la vallée du Nahr Ibrahim 2004. Taylor has two photographs of the main temple2.
