Chapel of St. Paul















This was one of my favorite places to visit in Damascus. The church was built at the place where according to the Bible early Christians lowered the apostle Paul from the City walls in a basket to save him from being captured and killed. Like so many of the cool places in Damascus, this one is also hidden behind a small and unsuspecting door in a dusty street. The place also houses a christian orphanage for kids who were well taken care of and seemed happy.
