About
The ruins of the vast edifice erected in the honor of St. Symeon and known in Arabic as the Qal at Simān ("the Mansion of Simeon") can still be seen. They are located about 30 km northwest of Aleppo ( 36°20′03″N, 36°50′38″ECoordinates: 36°20′03″N, 36°50′38″E) and consist of four basilicas built out from an octagonal court towards the four points of the compass to form a large cross. In the centre of the court stands the base of the style or column on which St. Simeon stood. (Wikipedia, St. Symeon)
