The Royal Tombs of Petra are in the Nabatean version of [[Hellenistic architecture]], but their facades have worn due to natural decay. One of these tombs, the [[Palace Tomb]], is speculated to be the tomb for the kings of Petra. The Corinthian Tomb, which is right next to the Palace Tomb, has the same Hellenistic architecture featured on the [[Al-Khazneh|Treasury]]. The two other Royal Tombs are the Silk Tomb and the Urn Tomb; the Silk Tomb does not stand out as much as the Urn Tomb. The Urn Tomb features a large yard in its front, and was turned into a church in 446 AD after the expansion of Christianity.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Royal Tombs, Petra.
