    Summary (English)

    • The 2003 excavations uncovered remains and further sections of the early Christian basilica. Excavations south of the basilica revealed a complex of buildings. A portico, not accessible from the basilica, was represented by a line of stone piers. South of the portico was a small chapel paved with tiles. It was a rectangular building, a niche in its northern wall with a rare example of a complete window pane at it base. The south of the chapel was connected to a large tower with thick walls, the ground floor occupied by a large water tank. To the south of this was a small bath house.
