Babisqa, Archaeological site in northwestern Syria
The site contains public baths, two churches, and a marketplace spread across elevated terrain at 459 meters above sea level.
The Markianos Church construction occurred between 390 CE and 480 CE, documented through inscriptions found on lintels of the atrium.
The Church of St. Sergius, built in 610 AD, represents the final Byzantine religious structure constructed in northern Syria.
During the Syrian Civil War, the ancient structures of Babisqa provide shelter for approximately 80 displaced families seeking refuge.
The site features the only preserved public baths in the Jebel Barisha region, with evidence of multi-story construction and tunnel vaults.
