Basílica del Llano del Olivar, Early Christian archaeological site in Algezares, Spain.
The basilica contains three naves divided by columns, a semicircular apse, and an octagonal baptistery with stone stairs on both sides.
Archaeological excavations initiated by Cayetano de Mergelina y Luna in 1934 revealed only 40 percent of this sixth-century religious complex.
The baptistery features an immersion pool where early Christian converts underwent complete submersion during baptism ceremonies according to ancient practices.
The archaeological site remains open to visitors throughout the year, with free admission and designated pathways to protect the historical structures.
The complex includes remains of a hypocaust heating system, geometric tile patterns, and lattice decorations from the late Roman-Visigothic period.
