SAMARIA - SEBASTIA

Basilica

Originally built as the main center of government for Roman Samaria, this building later became the main basilica for Christian Byzantine Samaria. The curve of the main apse of the basilica can be seen in the lower left corner. To the upper left, the old Roman forum now serves as a parking lot.
