Deir Lhose

Syria / Idlib / Maarrat-an-Numan /
 village, byzantine, historic ruins

The "Monastry of the Almonds", a little Byzantine village with the typical houses of the northern Syrian ancient cities, remains of a basilica cannot be detected. Some of the houses are very well preserved, as if the population left the village some decades ago. Not easy to discover behind olive groves.
