THE ORIENTAL CHURCH

From the remains of the palace of Du, turn north-east. It is the oldest (th century) and the largest church in Apollonia. It is probably located at the location of the old agora. The Roman columns of the central nave of cipolin marble support the corinthians capitals. It is this church that comes from the only biblical theme mosaic discovered in Cyrenaica, that of Noah on its ark (exhibited at the museum of Soussa). In the north-east of the apse is a baptistery for the justinienne period. Archaeologists think that this church was previously the site of the agora.
