Church of Saint Simeon Stylites: An Epic of the Pillar and the Man Who Sought the Sky
كنيسة القديس سمعان العمودي: ملحمة العمود والإنسان الذي أراد الاقتراب من السماء
Ten chapters read Qal'at Sem'an northwest of Aleppo, the sanctuary that rose around the pillar where the ascetic Simeon lived until his death in 459: its central octagon and four basilicas forming a cross, the limestone of the massif, light in the ruins, the complex for pilgrims, its 2011 World Heritage listing and the war damage recorded in 2015.
