Byzantine basilica of Dermech
Byzantine basilica of Dermech, Early Christian basilica in archaeological site of Carthage, Tunisia.
The Dermech basilica contains five naves and nine bays, stretching 35.5 meters in length and 21 meters in width, covering 750 square meters.
Archaeological excavations in 1899 by Paul Gauckler uncovered the basilica, which was constructed during the late Vandal period or under Justinian's rule.
The marble baptistery with its hexagonal basin connected to ancient cisterns demonstrates the emphasis on purification rituals in early Christian practices.
The basilica lies within 100 meters of the Antonine Baths, making it easily accessible when exploring the archaeological complex of Carthage.
Original geometric mosaics with religious motifs decorated the floors, while pink marble columns supported a baldachin over the central space.
