The archaeological complex of the Small Early Christian Basilica dates back to the 5th–6th century. The basilica is a three-nave structure, measuring 20 meters in length and 13 meters in width. A small chapel is built on its southern side, and a baptistery is attached to the northern nave. The church featured rich architectural decoration – a marble colonnade between the naves, a marble altar screen, an ambo, and a synthronon. The floors are covered with richly colored mosaics, considered among the finest works created by the craftsmen of the Philippopolis school. For early Christians, mosaics carried deep meaning and conveyed symbolic messages. The deer, for example, represents the soul of the Christian striving for faith and truth, while the dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
