Maaloula contains unique historical landmarks, the most important of which are monasteries, churches and rocky paths, and ancient and important Christian monuments in the history of Christianity, including an old Byzantine church and Byzantine shrines carved in the rock in the heart of the mountain, and the Patriarchal Monastery of Mar Takla. The houses of the town of Maaloula are distinguished by the height of each layer above each other, so that one layer does not rise more than the height of one house, thus turning the roofs of the houses into corridors and crossings for the houses above them to have a distinct character. As for the monuments, the huge stones, the caves and the caves carved in the rock, which were inhabited by the ancient man, they tell the story of the history of thousands of years since the Aramaic era.
