The Fountain of the Forty Martyrs – Yammouneh”
The fountain is a natural water source. Near the source, the Romans built some structures that were later converted into a church and a monastery during the Byzantine era. The ruins of the buildings are still visible, and the place has retained its dedication to the forty martyrs of Sebastopolis.
