Ḳalb Lauzi

Little is left of the ancient town.

A building some distance west of the
church shows the prevalence of the
megalithic style in the remains of
a heavy stone floor supported upon
a colonnade of rectangular piers with
moulded caps.

North of the church are the scant
remains of an ancient windmill. To the
N.W. are remains of a small tower
called Ḳaṣr Dêr Ibn' Imâr. It looks
like a small castle as the first word
would signify but may have been
the home of a mediaeval hermit as
the word Dêr (convent) implies.

Tombs and cisterns abound and a
large roughly hewn sarcophagus is
to be seen S.E. from the church.
