Mosaic Basilica

The Mosaic Basilica is southwest of Oylum Tumulus. Just a section of this basilica was unearthed in 1999, and most of the remaining sections were unearthed during the 2004 and 2006 excavations. The basilica, dated to the 6th century, is from the Early Christian Period. Covering an area of 800 square meters, the church features a basilica plan with mosaic floors. The mosaics, with red, brown, white, grey, orange and black colored stones, include plant (leaf) motifs, Maltese crosses and various geometric patterns (intersecting circle, diamond, square and zigzag), reflecting characteristics of the Early Byzantine Art Period .
