Shops General

View looking northeast at the “barrel vaulted” shops along one of Gadara’s streets.  These shops actually supported the terrace which was originally a forum and later the site of Byzantine Churches.

In the lower left foreground is a cistern covered by a metal lid.  The visible columns are those of the atrium of one of the later Byzantine Churches.
