Kharab Shams, view from south at church ruin, 4th/6th century CE

Kharab Shams, view from south at church ruin, 4th/6th century CE

The columned basilica, which is very high in relation to its length, lacks the outer walls of the side aisles, which probably once fell victim to an earthquake. The rafters of the lower side roof can be seen above the round arches of the arcade.
