Resafe

Overview

Introduction

Although Resafe is mentioned in ancient texts, most of what remains of the walled and gated city 120 mi/200 km southeast of Aleppo is Byzantine. Sites to visit include the somewhat restored Basilica of the Holy Cross, another basilica, a church and a khan (rest house). But the three huge cisterns near the southern wall are perhaps the most impressive sites there.
