Syrian Orthodox Christians of Aramaic tongue still worship in its Late Antique churches. Monks converted the region and the most powerful monastery, founded in the fourth century, is still flourishing today.

It aims to rediscover the practical and symbolic function of the monuments of Tur cAdin and place them in their original social context.
