Deir Al Arba'een, Ancient religious building in Hebron, Palestine

The structure consists of a single cell chapel with a semi-circular apse, enclosed by a quadrangular wall measuring 25 by 30 meters.

Mujir al-Din documented this site in his History of Jerusalem and Hebron around 1495 as a pilgrimage destination for Muslim visitors.

The building carries multiple religious traditions, with Christians referring to it as the Church of the Forty Martyrs before its transformation into a mosque.

The ruins stand 300 meters west of Hebron's Old City, making it accessible for visitors exploring the archaeological sites of Tel Rumeida.

The central structure houses vaulted rooms with both groined and tunnel roofs, featuring distinctive pointed arches from medieval architecture.
