It’s located in the area of Psalidi at a short distance from the city and next to the coastal road. It’s a big Basilica, rectangular and spreads to the west. The south side has many smaller buildings. Among these is the Baptism area with a cross shaped font. In the foyer the floor had a mosaic design while the rest of the floors were covered with large marble stones, smaller clay ones and coloured hexagon and square shaped ones.
Most of these are now in the museum of Architecture in the Castle of the Knights Neratzias.
