Once the goal of many pilgrims who wanted to see Saint Simeon, now the ruins of the basilica make for a very pleasant trip from Aleppo.
Although Aleppo has a lot to offer for the visitor, a visit to the ruins of the Saint Simeon basilica is a must. It can be reached in less than an hour, and the place is great. Not only are the ruins preserved quite well, but you find yourself also right on top of the hill on which it was built. This means you get a perfect view over the surrounding plains. The wind blowing through the pine trees give the place a great tranquillity. Their pleasant smell give it a special finishing. But this is more than a nice spot to visit, it is also a place with a history.
