Place in Idlib, Syria
Sarmada (Arabic : سرمدا ) is a town in the Harem District , Idlib Governorate of Syria .[1] It is in the extreme northwest of Syria near the border with Turkey .
A church was consecrated in Sarmada by Patriarch Elias of Antioch in 722 CE.[2] It is also the place in which the Battle of Sarmada took place between the Principality of Antioch and the Artukids on June 28, 1119.
Monuments
[ edit ]
Column of Sarmada
[ edit ]
The town is distinguished by the Roman tomb of Alexandras, dated to the second century CE.[3] The tomb is rectangular and supports two columns, composed of thirteen cylicrical stones, joined together at the tenth cylinder by a horizontal piece with a further capital on top.[4]
Monastery of Saint Daniel and Hisn ad-Dair
[ edit ]
The Monastery of Saint Daniel (also known as Breij or Braij or al-Breij ) is located 2 km west of the town, perched in a hillside location about 400 metres from the road.[5] The monastery is dated to the 6th century CE during the later monastic phase of the Dead Cities .[6]
A monastery called Hisn ad-Dair near Sarmada was given to Alan of Gael by Baldwin II of Jerusalem in 1121 AD, when it was described as a fortified monastery.[7] There is also mention of a castle with three watchtowers in the area.[8]
Roman temple
[ edit ]
A further 4 km along the road towards Baqirha is a Roman temple dedicated to Zeus . Epigraphic evidence was found dating the structure to c. 169 CE. The temple features a massive gateway and cella along with one surviving column of what once was a four columned portico .[6]
