Abila

Also described as a Roman decapolis city, Abila has only been partially excavated. Some of the columns have been restored at this church. Most of the architecture is located across the wadi on the other hill. Most of the area has been covered back up to prevent looting. Supposedly a mosaic floor under the sand of this church that was covered back up on purpose. Julianna's husband's family used to own this land and A. said he used to play in this area when he was young.
