    A rather nice 5th-/6th-century Syrian relief of a Stylite Saint, possibly St Simeon the Elder, for the feast of Simeon Stylites, 5 Jan; found near Qal‘at Sem‘an :) https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/view?oid=479062 …pic.twitter.com/b8w2ghfYMg

        Simeon's notion of living atop a column proved rather popular; in the 6th century there was even a stylite named Vulfolaic in the region of Trier, who seems to have suffered rather in the harsh winters...! https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=xVBiCOBX4WMC&lpg=PA313&pg=PA313#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/U6g7EYJPQ4

        Stylites have always intrigued me. Are there any extant columns that were used by stylites today? Preferably in a place that is safe for tourists.

        Not really. The extant columns are predominantly in Northern Syria and one is outside modern Antakya, Turkey, in Samandağ: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastery_of_St._Simeon_Stylites_the_Younger …. The safety of the site varies. I would not recommend it currently.

        The only one I can think of is at the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens, which had a stylite's hut above two columns until the 19thC? Unclear how ancient the structure was though!pic.twitter.com/eCc3yWWdiq

        That's a possibility. It's not there anymore obviously, but also I have substantial doubts about that being a "stylite's hut." It has all the looks of Frankish fortifications that are very common among classical ruins in Athens and which were systematically cleared in the 19th c.

        I've tried to substantiate the claims made that this is a stylite's hut and come up empty beyond that it was at least commonly *thought* among locals that the structure was a stylite's hut at one point.

        There's a very good overview of stylite remains by Lukas Schachner:https://www.scribd.com/document/270192299/Schachner-The-Archaeology-of-the-Stylite …

        Yes, agreed, it does have that look re: its origins! I was thinking of the reported tales of its use in the 19thC by a stylite, but can't spot any contemporary ref either, alas, which is suspicious :( That's a great article btw! :)

        I still like the idea that the ruins may have conjured up the notion of a stylite in people’s minds ☺️ and I’m glad you liked it! It’s a fantastic article.

        A stylite saint once wrote for the Times. Had his own column.
