Central Church (Byzantine Church). The church, which draws attention with its apse opposite Tiberius Square, is named Central Church by researchers because of its situation. Arundell identified the building as a church. Robinson wrote in his diary that after the transept walls were cleaned, the managed to get the Latin cross plan of the church; and Woodbridge drew a simple plan of the church. The excavations carried out by Taslialan showed that the church was not as small as thought, but wider with an Orthodox plan. During the excavations, Ramsay found an iron medallion from the period of Diocletian with the names Neon, Nikon and Heliodorus on the obverse and Bassus of Antioch on the reverse. Ramsay wrote in his article published in 1927 that smaller apse found in the structure of the church’s apse was the church built on the synagogue iun which St. Oaul gave his first preach. The church is known ad St. Bassus Church today. It was dated to the 4th century AD by Ramsay.
