both buildings faced the north unless they
faced each other which is unlikely. In any case
both facades have been destroyed, and it is interesting

since, in the Haurânian, the facades of temples
displayed most of the decoration. The wall designed
and deeply carved details still to be seen in the ruin
show that the facades are unusally beautiful.
