Summary
| Description |
English: This small chapel is located in the western seats of the Amphitheatre of Durrës and consists of a nave with an apse facing east and lit by a single bifora window. In the center of the apse is the base of what was once a masonry altar. Before Christian intervention in the 6th century, the space consisted of a low-ceilinged barral vaulted space that supported the imperial box seats, known as the "pulvinar." The pulvinar was removed and the space was extended and roofed with timber. |
