Situated atop Jumay'an Hill, overlooking Petra's city center, the Ridge Church was built during the late 4th or early 5th century, utilizing Nabatean and Roman materials. Considered the first church established in Petra, the Ridge Church Complex includes a small building with a fountain. The church itself consists of two wings flanking the nave, each separated by five columns. A commemorative Greek inscription, dating to the late 4th or early 5th century, found within the structure suggests that the fountain was dedicated to a distinguished individual with a military background.
