The church of Qalb Loze (or Qalbe Loze, Qalb Lozeh) is located roughly 50 km due west of Aleppo, in northwestern Syria near the Turkish border. Residing in a small Druze village, the church dates back to the mid 5th Century AD and is one of the best-preserved churches of this period in the region. Strikingly similar in architectural style and craftsmanship to other Syrian churches such as Turmanin, El Anderin, Ruweha, and Kerratin, they may have been built by the same workshops or guilds. Gertrude Bell, the intrepid Middle Eastern diplomat, explorer and archaeologist, described this church in her book about her travels in Syria as "...the beginning of a new chapter in the architecture of the world. The fine and simple beauty of Romanesque was born in North Syria." Gertrude Bell, The Desert and the Sown, (Cooper Square Press Edition 2001, p. 306.
