After a tremor destroyed the North Bridge and much of the processional way up to the Temple of Artemis, the Byzantine citizens of Jerash built this church on what was left of the thoroughfare in this area in the middle of the 6th century AD incorporating much of the original Roman architectural elements.

In the incorporated elements there were many Greek and Latin inscribed blocks. One of them can still be located as a reused door lintel serving as chancel screen foundation.

There are nice views from the far side of the apse over the city including the Great East Baths and the place where the North Bridge once stood.

From the apse, retrace your steps to the Cardo and admire the monumental processional way entrance (propylaeum) to the Sanctuary of Artemis.

Prendendo il Cardo Massimo verso nord dal Foro vi troverete la chiesa Propylaea sulla destra vicino al Propylaeum del tempio di Artemide.
La chiesa è stata costruita con i resti del ponte occidentale ed altri siti distrutti da un terremoto.
