Qalb Lawza, Basilica, 5th c., view of main facade from south-west

Qalb Lawza, Basilica, 5th c., view of main facade from south-west

Here we can see the main façade, the central part of which, with its large round arch, has collapsed, giving a view of the narthex (vestibule). The imposing church has a raised central nave and wide arcades that open onto the side aisles. This basilica suffered relatively little damage.
