East church. The other church is much
larger and finer in details. The plan
is of the ordinary type in which the curve
of the apse is consealed by the east wall -
The nave is divided by 2 rows of 4 columns
each - the apse with its side chapels
is partially preserved - The south wall is
complete with two fine doorways but the
west and north walls are in ruins like the
interior. Adjoining the western side
chapel or diaconicum is a small but
very interesting baptistry. The doorway
between them is very small, the main
entrance to the baptistry being in the
west side - the baptistry is divided
transversely by an arch which carried
the roof - the little apse which contained
the font is less than a meter wide and
quite deep, but owing to the thickness of
the wall the exterior curve is very slight.
The arch of this little apse is destroyed
but it's pilasters are still visible in the debris.
