Religious buildings

The church west of the palace, built under Justinian, is a beautiful complex complex of domes, despite an austere exterior appearance due to its rectangular shape. The staircase, located in the north-west part of a square tower, gives access to the first level supported by two of the columns marking the nave. The decoration of the two buildings is made up of rows of basalt separated by brick foundations. All the vaults are carefully furnished bricks, while window jambs are a limestone block. There is nothing left of the barracks, once located south of the palace, or of the double enclosure that complemented the whole. Take advantage of this visit to discover the many types of Byzantine cross as well as the very fine sculptures of the entrances of the two monuments.
