Red Basilica

church · 30 BC – 2100 AD

A Roman temple built above the Selinus river was originally constructed to worship Egyptian gods, most likely Isis and/or Serapis. In the Byzantine era, it was converted into a church of St. John. It was subsequently ruined, although the rotunda on the north side is still an active mosque.
