Aydin Province: 1600 year old church exposed


The church is probably the oldest in the region and, unlike the other churches and temples previously discovered, it comes from the first Christian communities in the region. The floor of the church is made of small stones joined together, covered with mosaics decorated with geometric motifs, ”said Altın, noting that the inner walls of the building were covered with paintings. “These murals are made up of several different layers, which tells us that the church was in use from the earliest stages of early Christianity to the late Byzantine period,” he added.
