("El-Garbiyyeh" in
Arabic). Kfar Quk residents will be pleased to find visitors
interested in the ruins, so accept their invitation to guide
you around.
In the western quarter a small rectangular
temple sits on the road side. Within its walls can be found
basins, grape presses, a sarcophagus, columns and other
relics. A second, less well-preserved temple near the church
has many stone basins.
Outside the village is an old flour mill
once powered by a water wheel. Although it sits on a now dry
gully and is in a ruined state, the mill's size is a testimony
to its former importance. In the area around the village
numerous caves, tomb niches, columns and other objects await
exploration.
