Thought to be a cistern, turns out to be a church from the 4th century
In the Ayasuluk Hill and St. Jean Monument Excavations in Izmir, it is revealed that the building, which was previously considered as a basilica cistern, is a church with a free cross plan, and it is thought that the Gospel of John, one of the 4 Gospels accepted as the holy book by Christians, was written here.
