Brad Village:

Brad was the capital city of Mount Sima’an (Simon). Its ruins imply that it was a huge city at Mar Maroun’s time. The date of the construction of its big church coincides with the date upon which Mar Maroun died, i.e. the early years of the 5th century.

The monastery contains a small church which is destroyed and it also contains a building to accommodate the pilgrims, the rest of the building residence are destroyed, the oil compressor is destroyed also. There is a destroyed tower and there is a pillar for the hermits.
