Category:Church of Agios Kyriakos (Delos)

Christianity appeared on pagan Delos at the beginning of the Early Christian period: the island had already been upgraded to a bishopric from the 4th c. Monuments from the Early Christian years have been discovered in the SE of the agora of the Delians, where a single-nave basilica dedicated to Aghios Kerykos was founded (mid of the6th century.). Some ancient buildings had been converted into Christian churches, such as the basilica at the Thesmophorion (6th c.) and the basilica near the Asclepieion (of roughly the same period). The small, cross-shaped balaneion (5th-6th c.), featuring a hypocaust, may have been part of a house, and was found in the hypostyle.
