St. Anthony's monastery in a stone mountain cliff, dating from the beginning of the 9th century. It is hard to see its small entrance doors which are typical of monasteries in the area.
These were designed to prevent Ottoman cavaliers from bursting inside with their horses. This has been a stronghold location of the Christian faith surviving in the Middle East since the death of the Christ.
