Soloi Basilica

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:29:03

St Mark was baptised at Soloi by St Auxibius and its first church is thought to have been built in the 4th century. From what’s left today it is difficult to appreciate the size and extent of the church, which by all accounts was impressive.

Most notable are the surviving decorated floors, including the mosaic of a swan with entwined floral patterns and small dolphin nearby.
