Gasr Silu

Gasr Silu is a ruin site in Libya . The ancient name of this place is unknown. The ancient ruins were discovered in the 1960s. They were visited by John Bryan Ward-Perkins in 1969 and examined by Sheila Gibson and Margaret Browne at about the same time. However, excavations never took place. There are only sketches and photos of the remaining remnants of the surveys mentioned . The ruins of the place are rather loosely distributed over a larger area. There are remains of various cisterns and oil presses. The main ruins, however, are two Byzantine churches, each with three naves and an apse . The remains of a relatively well-preserved Byzantine fort (Gasr) still stand on a hill.
