Six bell tents ( white, black or red in colour) can be seen in the top right corner above the monastery, with ball apexes. | “In an old icon (Byzantine) showing the Monastery (Saba) we see most notably the crenellated defensive wall and the watch tower at the crest of the rock out crop.” Provenance unknown. | Lemaître, A., The Cultural History of the Holy Land, Geneva, 1983, p. 44. |
