The late Roman Basilica Museum and its transition from the Roman to Byzantine

Located in the heart of Ceuta, Spain, the Late Roman Basilica Museum possesses a remarkable late Roman basilica estimated to date back to the 4th or 5th century AD. This archaeological jewel was constructed, although not accurately credited, by an unidentified architect, providing a unique glimpse into the transformation from Roman rule to the Byzantine era in the far rim of North Africa. The museum's basilica, an impressive rectangular structure with a central nave and two side aisles, is a testament to this era. The permanent exhibition hosts various early Christian artifacts such as catacombs, Marinid carvings, Roman fish-salting vats, and prehistoric lithic collections. As an additional attraction, visitors may explore the in-situ late Roman basilica foundations preserved beneath the modern display floor.
