Priene 2007 4223.jpg

The church to the south of the theatre.

It was of a three-ailed basilica type, with an entry hall or narthex, a pulpit with two staircases (ambo) and an apse with seating steps (synthronon). Much of the stone was taken from other buildings. The remaining parts on sees of the ambo and the chancel-screen are from the early Byzantine period.

What remains of the staircase of the pulpit (ambo).
