3d STOP: aisleless church (GPS spot)
We are located in front of the simple, aisleless Byzantine church which dates back to the 12th century. This small sized church is built by architectural remains from the surrounding area and is in use after the destruction of the older royal cemetery, which was located outside the walls. For its construction older building materials were used.
Can you find a building material from an earlier phase that walled the Byzantine church?
