Necropolis Church

The necropolis church (with a nave and annex still intact) was damaged heavily during a 1969 flood (causing the main nave, apsis and southern nave to collapse). It can be dated to the 6th century, and was a columned basilica with three naves. An annex on the north seems to be of later construction. Its position in the middle of the northern and southern necropoles lead to the assumption this was the necropolis church.
