This is St.John's Church in Byblos Lebanon
Work on the church started during the crusades in 1116. It was
considered a cathedral and was partially destroyed during an earthquake
in 1176 AD. It was transformed into stables by Islamic forces after the
...fall of the city, and was given to the Maronites as a gift by Prince
Youssef Chehab of Lebanon in the mid 1700', after they aided him in
capturing the city.
