A shelter designed by Ammar Khammash protects the basilica of 23.5 m x ca.15.3 m, with the main nave and two aisles.
The eastern part (above) with the presbytery and the three rooms where Manfredi discovered the inscription with the date of completition has been destroyed after 1902. Now three mosaic fragments found on the Acropolis are shown there.
The central nave with the large mosaic carpet is 6 m wide. More information on the following pages.
