The once monumental Damous el-Karita Basilica is around 1km from the US war cemetery though it's along a not very scenic stretch of road. The basilica was 65m by 45m, with nine aisles, and the remaining lines of broken grey columns clearly stake out this huge scale, if not much else. Steps lead into a well-preserved underground rotunda, 9.5m in diameter, the basement of a building that was possibly a baptistery or a saint's tomb.
