Saydet al-Najat Church (the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance) is a Greek Orthodox church built during the 12th-13th centuries over the remains of an older Byzantine church. There are various remains of the older Byzantine church scattered around in the church's gardens. The medieval, fortress-like building has heavily buttressed walls. Many Roman architectural elements are reused in its structure.
