The church is popularly known as either Qalaat Semaan (, the 'Fortress of Simeon') or Deir Semaan (, the 'Monastery of Simeon'). Saint Simeon was born in 386 AD in the Amanus mountains village. He lived in a monastery in this village at

Saint Simeon then resolved that he would not live in a cave, but instead, he would move to the top of a pillar that was approximately 12–18 meters high and estimated to be 2 meters in diameter to get closer to God. Significant multitude would soon be attracted by the preaching of Saint Simeon that was offered twice a day. Saint Simeon stayed on top of the pillar for about 37 years and later died in 459 AD. His remains were majestically escorted to

After the burial, Saint Simeon's grave in Antioch became a revered site for the pilgrimage, and so, did his pillar on the hill where he spent few decades of his life as a holy place for worshiping God. A few decades following Saint Simeon's death, a huge church was constructed in his honor in the rocky sites where his pillar stood. The church was made up of four basilicas that were glowing from the sides of a central octagon where the famous column was enshrined. The church’s

However, as opposed to Hagia Sophia, the church of Saint Simeon was situated on top of a barren hill nearly 60 kilometers from the nearest town. Nevertheless, the church was not lonely. It was just a part of the magnificent walled structure that encompasses a monastery, two minor churches, and numerous significant hostels. Given that the church has long fallen into ruins, it currently forms part of the enormous multipart of ruins referred as the Dead Cities of Syria. Surprisingly, until just recently,

As opposed to many cathedrals that were constructed in medieval Europe, the idea of the church of Saint Simeon was born and realized as one project over a short span of time. It was designed in a cruciform made up of four distinct basilica complexes. The grounds for construction of the church were born by the imperial authorities who later promoted the course. Primarily, the high number of pilgrims who frequently flocked to

The ambitious plan of the church of Saint Simeon complex portrays numerous architectural designs. The fundamental concept of the three-aisled basilica can be traced to the lasting traditions of the Romans. It is reported that the main basilica and the baptistery were the first to be constructed. Subsequently, the monastery and the fixtures to the baptistery followed. Ultimately, the other parts of the complex including the colossal arch on the Via Sacra concluded the construction process. Apparently, the best relics that are evident from

The shaped like cross church was finely preserved, and it offers an excellent view in the spring with all the freshly blossomed flowers. When viewed from inside, the pillar of Saint Simeon is still apparent, only

The reduction in the length of the pillar can be attributed to many years of relic-gathering by pilgrims. The courtyard is octagonal and is bordered by four basilicas in the shape of a rood-tree and described as a four-basilica church. Apparently, the idea of a crucifix was to represent the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross. Evidently, the east basilica is considerably bigger compared to other basilicas. The more significant size can be attributed to the critical role it played in hosting all

Originally, Deir Semaan (Simeon Monastery) bore the name of Telanissos and was established to make the most of the two productive plains that surrounded it. In the mid of the 5th century AD, the locals established a monastery on the plains and in 412 AD, Saint Simeon opted to be part of it. Later on, he left the locals to live there as he went to live in the mountain above the plains where the monastery was situated. The

The baptistery was constructed shortly after the construction of the main church, and it served as a crucial part of the pilgrimage complex. The design of the baptistery was impeccable and was often regarded to be amongst the remarkable artifacts of the Christian architecture in the entire Syria. The baptistery was constructed in two phases; the baptistery itself and then some related little basilicas later. The baptistery took the form of an octagonal drum that lay on the top of the

The processional route guides towards the Deir Semaan (Simeon Monastery) emanates from the western side of the baptistery.
