The Church of St. John the Baptist was built in 531 AD and is one of the complex of three Byzantine churches that share the same entrance portico. It has an unusual layout with recesses in the four corners. The floor once had rich mosaics depicting centers of Christian pilgrimage in Egypt. One of them, the city of Alexandria is displayed at the Jerash Archaeological Museum nearby.
