Basilica Terrace

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:49:16

The remains of this 6th-century church , with an unusual octagonal interior sanctum, are marked today by the remaining basalt columns. The church was destroyed by earthquakes in the 8th century. A bit of imagination is needed to reconstruct the colonnaded courtyard opposite, the western section of which housed a row of shops (the shells of which remain).
