Basílica Paleocristiana de Vega del Mar
Basílica Paleocristiana de Vega del Mar, Early Christian basilica and archaeological site in Marbella, Spain
The rectangular structure contains three naves and features ancient walls, foundations, and nearly two hundred graves from different historical periods.
The original church was built in the fourth century AD and later rebuilt in 572 AD during the Byzantine control of the Mediterranean coast.
The basilica functioned as both a religious center and a necropolis, containing one of the largest Roman burial sites discovered in Spain.
Visitors can explore the site through elevated wooden walkways while reading information boards that detail the archaeological findings and building layout.
The excavation revealed a large fish-shaped baptismal font and a tombstone colored in Constantine Crimson, considered among the oldest in Spain.
