In the Bible, the book of Acts, the story is told of a faithful Christian, Ananias, who while praying, heard from the Lord Jesus and was told to go down to the street called Straight and lay hands on a blind man, Saul of Tarsus, known for violently persecuting Christians or members of the Way as they were first known. Ananias balked but obeyed and the result of the obedience was launching St Paul the Apostle into his destiny. This chapel is where Ananias lived - he became the Bishop of Damascus (a public figure) so records were kept of his house. It is just off the Street called Straight. The chapel is serene and has beautiful paintings of the conversion of St Paul and one can sit and soak in the quiet spirit there. There is a small on site shop which sells books, postcards and maps. This is a site of great importance and Christian heritage. Well worth the visit.

Whenever one visits the Old Seaside City of Tartous you should spend sometime in the old walled city which has a commanding view of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a MUST VISIT SITE that you will not be disappointed in viewing and touring. As one may know and appreciate Syria is the location of the two “Oldest Continually Inhabited Cites”: Damascus and Aleppo. Now Tartous is not as old as these two cities, but the tour of the Old ramparts is well worth the outing and visit. Tartous, is in some cases, more unique than Damascus and Aleppo as it is directly on the Mediterranean Sea and offers many old street views and old archways. So if you do have time to visit the seaside city of Tartous you must make time to visit the Old Seaport section of this city! You will not be disappointed…trust me…
