The little church on the promontory

On the extreme northern tip of the promontory a little basilica of the proto-byzantine age, around the second half of the Vth –beginning VIth c. A.D. has been uncovered. Its floor plan is slightly assymetrical, due to the constraints of the irregular hilly location. The small building, subdivided into three naves with its apse facing eastwards, has kept, even if not an optimal state, ample floor section made of small opus sectile elements. These floor sections are unfortunately conserved in different states and those pertinent to the northern nave have been irremediably lost.
