North Cyprus:The Aya Trias bazilięca
The Basilica dates back to the 6th century A.D. Probably
because it was destroyed in mid-7th century, a small church and some
annexes were added to its southern flank. As these buildings were
destroyed in the ninth and tenth centuries A.D., this settlement was not
used any more. The basilica has three sections: to the west is the
exterior, atrium; to the southeast are the annexes and the baptistery.
The floor is covered with mosaics with motifs of geometric shapes,
leaves and crosses. It is recorded in the inscription on the mosaics
that they were made by Heraclos, one of the assistants of the priest. Back |
