English: Southeastern in Deir Semaan. Most of the pilgrims were accommodated in the village downhill from the main buildings. In the pilgrimage center on the hill there was only a guest house in the area of ​​the baptistery at the southern entrance. The three large monastery complexes downhill, in what was later called Deir Semaan, were in the north-west, south-west and south-east of the city. The north-western monastery was probably built on the site of the simple earlier monastery in which Symeon had stayed. The facilities each included a basilica and a pilgrims' hostel (Pandocheion). The south-eastern monastery from the end of the 6th century is best preserved. The two two-story communal buildings had porticos in front of the facades, separated from them was a building for the monks' apartments, while the small church was housed in an extension. The churches of the two other monasteries that were built earlier were large, separate structures.
