The Church of Saint Simeon Stylites ((アラビア語:كنيسة مار سمعان العمودي) ''(unicode:Kanīsat Mār Simʿān al-ʿAmūdī)'') is a historical building located about 30 km (19 mi) northwest of Aleppo, Syria. It is the oldest surviving Byzantine church, dating back to the 5th century. Built on the site of the pillar of St. Simeon Stylites, a famed hermit monk, the church is popularly known as either Qalaat Semaan ((アラビア語:قلعة سمعان) ''(unicode:Qalʿat Simʿān)''), the 'Fortress of Simeon', or Deir Semaan ((アラビア語:دير سمعان) ''(unicode:Dayr Simʿān)''), the 'Monastery of Simeon' . As of June 2011, the Church and surrounding village was designated by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as part of the "Ancient Villages of Northern Syria", a World Heritage Site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1348/multiple=1&unique_number=1761 )〕 The Church was held by Islamist extremist groups (including Islamic State) who are opposed to reverence for and existence of shrines and holy sites, both Muslim and Christian raising concerns for its continued existence. On the 28th of May 2015 the church was captured by the Kurdish YPG/YPJ with apparently little damage. ==Gallery== Image:Church of Saint Simeon Stylites 22- Baptistry.jpg|The Baptistry Image:Church of Saint Simeon Stylites 01.jpg|South facade of Church of Saint Simeon Image:Simeon Stylites icon 1465.jpg|Icon of Saint Simeon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of Saint Simeon Stylites」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
