This basilica is a unique spot with a layered history, literally built on top of older buildings. It’s a church that sits above a 4th-century church, which itself is above a 1st-century Roman house and temple. The place is like a time machine, showing how the city changed over centuries.
- The basilica is most popular for its three levels of history stacked on top of each other.
- The upper church has beautiful mosaics and frescoes.
- The lower levels reveal ancient frescoes, secret passageways, and even a Mithraic temple.
- See Three Eras in One Place: You can walk through three different time periods, all in one building. It’s rare to find a place where you can literally go downstairs and see how people lived over 1,000 years ago. 🕰️
- Incredible Art and Mosaics: The upper church has some of the best medieval mosaics and frescoes, which are super detailed and colorful. 🎨
- Underground Adventure: Exploring the lower levels feels like a real-life adventure, with ancient tunnels and hidden rooms. 🕳️
- Dress code: Shoulders and knees need to be covered (no shorts or tank tops).
- Best time to visit: Early morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds.
- Tickets: Book a few days in advance if you want to see the underground levels.
