SyriaKharab Shams (also Kharab al-Shams) is an early Byzantine settlement located in the Dead Cities region of northwestern Syria [1]. The archaeological site is notable for its exceptionally tall basilica church, distinguished by its elevated columned arcades that led to its nickname 'Stelzenkirche' (stilted church) [1].
