Saint Simeon Stylites - Mar Semaan Church

Mar Semaan Church (Saint Simeon Stylites ) is a Greek Orthodox chapel in Hamat, Batroun District. Dedicated to Saint Simeon Stylites, the ascetic who spent 36 years atop a pillar in prayer, its Crusader-built dome shelters a marble column believed to be his own. Hamat crowns the historic Ras ash-Shaq'a cape, sharing its coastline with the Our Lady of Nourieh shrine and Batroun's ancient port below.
