Bishop's Basilica of Philippopolis, Early Christian basilica museum in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
The Bishop's Basilica features two layers of mosaic floors extending over 2000 square meters, displaying geometrical patterns and bird representations throughout the structure.
The religious building operated from the middle of the 4th century until the end of the 6th century, later transforming into a Christian necropolis during medieval times.
The basilica's floor mosaics reveal the combination of various influences, traditions, and resources from different regions during the Late Antiquity period.
The museum complex maintains regular visiting hours from 9:00 to 18:00, with free admission for students and retired individuals on the first Thursday of each month.
The structure measures 83 meters in length and 36 meters in width, making it the largest early Christian basilica discovered in Bulgaria and the Balkans.
