About
The Bishop's Basilica of Philippopolis, also known as the Great Basilica, is a ruined church from the ancient city of Philippopolis in Plovdiv and built in the mid-4th century AD. It is the largest late antique early-Christian church discovered in Bulgaria and one of the largest from that period on the Balkans. Its architecture included a central and two side naves, an apse, a narthex (anteroom), and a colonnaded atrium. A marble-decorated presbyterium rose in the central nave.
