Church behind the Archaeological Museum

General view of the site

General view of the site

The Archaeological Museum is housed in the lovely Nilüfer Hatun İmareti and may one day reopen after its extended restoration. To the west of the museum is a piece of ancient Nicaea that is being excavated. At the extreme north-west of this area (40.430578, 29.725142) lies the remains of a church.

Much of the building still lies under the surrounding streets but a little of the columned structure has been exposed.

This is a large site and it will take time for each item to be studied. This looks like a small chapel at the moment but this may change as more comes to light.
