Amioun Rock-Cut Tombs & Saint John's Church

About
Amioun's skyline is defined by a wall of Phoenician and Greco-Roman funerary caves carved into the cliff, later reused as monks' shelters. Perched dramatically above them is Mar Youhanna (Saint John's Church), seeming to grow out of the rock. Nearby, the tiny Crusader-era chapel of Mar Fauka (Saint Phocas) hides remarkable 12th–13th-century frescoes.
