Jableh

Jableh stands on the Mediterranean coast south of Latakia, where an ancient Roman theatre recalls its long history as a port. The town was part of the Principality of Antioch during the Crusades until Saladin captured it in 1189. Near the theatre stands a mosque and shrine associated with Ibrahim ibn Adham, an early Muslim ascetic. A Seljuk-era tomb was joined to a Mamluk prayer hall, and Ottoman builders later added domes to the complex.
