Small Basilica, Archaeological site and museum in central Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
The Small Basilica features geometric mosaics covering extensive floor areas, incorporating marble, glass, ceramics, and pebbles in detailed patterns and designs.
Discovered in 1988 during apartment construction, this early Christian church from the 5th century served the community until its abandonment in the 6th century.
The basilica contains a cross-shaped baptistery with marble pools and decorative mosaics depicting stags and doves, representing Christian spiritual symbolism.
The site operates daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs through interactive modules and augmented reality displays.
The mosaic conservation project involved removing half of the original pieces in 1993, cleaning them, and returning them to their exact positions decades later.
