Prison of St. Paul

The building referred to by local tradition as the "Prison of the Apostle Paul" is in the south-west corner of the atrium of Basilica A. Following the destruction of Basilica A (after the 7th-8th c. AD) and the Octagon, this cistern was converted to a place of worship, and a small chapel was built over it as the cult of Apostle Paul was transferred here.

This platform was created and maintained with the financial support of the European Union. Its contents are the sole responsibility of HERiPRENEURSHIP project and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union
