Nestled within the ancient city of Petra, the Byzantine Church, also known as the Petra Church, was first built in the fifth century AD over Nabataean and Roman ruins. The structure was expanded in the sixth century AD before succumbing to fire and earthquakes. Today, ongoing excavations reveal its historical layers, and visitors can admire well-preserved mosaics that offer a glimpse into its rich past.
