DESCRIPTION:

A small basilica stands at the foothills of the acropolis, with its northern section carved into the natural rock of the hill. It is a three-aisled apsidal basilica with a narthex and an exonarthex.

The basilica's three aisles are divided by wooden beams adorned with Corinthian capitals. The distances between the aisles are unequal, and while their arches are semi-circular on the inside, they are polygonal on the outside. The floor of the aisles is covered with lime mortar.

The chancel of the basilica has a raised floor. The altar table, located within the chancel, was supported by five small pillars. Unlike the floors of the aisles, the floor of the chancel was decorated with marble in an opus sectile design. The narthex of the basilica connects to its main body through three doors, known as a tribelon, a common feature in many Cypriot basilicas. However, instead of a courtyard, a narrow exonarthex is located in its place.

Archaeological evidence indicates that the walls of the basilica were decorated with mosaics, and its cornices bore plaster reliefs depicting scenes of dogs hunting deer.

To the south of the basilica, a chapel (parekklision) was discovered, attached to the southern wall. This chapel also included a funerary room. Additionally, a storage area for ecclesiastical utensils, was found to the north of the basilica.
