Megiddo church, Archaeological church at Tel Megiddo, Israel.
The Megiddo church structure contains a primary mosaic floor measuring 54 square meters with geometric patterns and fish symbols scattered throughout its design.
Israeli archaeologist Yotam Tepper uncovered the church foundations in 2005, revealing construction elements and artifacts dating back to approximately 230 AD.
The Greek inscription on the mosaic mentions a Roman officer named Gaianus who contributed to the creation of this early Christian place of worship.
The archaeological site sits within the grounds of Megiddo Prison, requiring visitors to arrange access permits and guided tours through authorized channels.
This structure represents one of the earliest known Christian church buildings globally, featuring an inscription that explicitly references the divinity of Jesus Christ.
