| The Hanging Church (also known as Al-Moallaqa) is so named because it was built on the southern gate of a Roman fort. Palm logs and layers of stone were erected on the ruins of the Roman fort to form its foundation. The Hanging Church is a unique structure with a wooden roof shaped like Noah's Ark. | |
