The Milky Way rises on July 29, 2022, above the 5th century basilica of Syria's Qalb Lozeh village in the northwestern Idlib province. The ancient lime-stone cathedral is the architectural forerunner of France's famed Notre Dame cathedral. The abandoned church is widely hailed as Syria's finest example of Byzantine-era architecture and is considered to have inspired Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals in Europe, including the Paris landmark.
