Church within the cathedral walls, built by the Byzantines using older building stone

Located in the extension of the cathedral, the church of Saint Theodore was built by the Byzantines who reused older building stones. The main entrance was located on the west side and an inscription can still be deciphered indicating that the church was built "in 496 under the episcopate of Aeneas in honor of the victorious Theodore, immortal martyr". The portal opens onto a paved courtyard lined with columns, with a fountain in the center. It is likely that this courtyard served as the atrium of the cathedral.
