The oldest building in the city
This is the oldest building in the city, preserved from the time of the Roman Empire. I think it was built in the 4th century, and inside there is a very interesting and partially preserved mural of the dome from about 12-14 century. There are other archeological finds around the church.

Worth a visit
Accidentally went inside on a Sunday so I don't know if we were lucky but we were treated to some glorious singing during a service. Keeping a quiet, respectful silence, we were not made to feel out of place and it was a lovely experience that brought the ancient building to life. It's in a strange location I think within the Presidential complex but you can see it if you're walking along the street. Free to enter and worth a visit.
