Saria island, Palatia site, Early Christian settlement: plan of Early Christian basilica ("Basilica C")

Plan of Early Christian basilica (“Basilica C”). The eastern part of the basilica ends in a vertical wall inside which the apse and two pastophoria are inscribed. The church was probably supported by rows of piers. Among the rubble one can see a few fragments of worked limestone that might have belonged to the chancel screen of the church; traces of a mosaic floor also survive inside the southern pastophorion.
