Along with the aforementioned Amphitheatre, the remains of this early Christian basilica believed to date back to the 5th century is pretty much all that’s left of the ancient Greek city of Lychnidos on which Ohrid was originally built. Until recently little more than a series of broken walls, careful excavation work has revealed a floor surface made of exquisite mosaics featuring exotic birds and other animals as well as some geometric designs including a few early swastikas. A raised walkway has been built around the site allowing visitors to get a close-up look of this marvellous spectacle.
