Early Christian Basilika at Onithe
A significant Early Byzantine structure in Rethymno, Crete, dating to the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. This three-aisled basilica, measuring approximately 36 x 17 meters, was built on a slope with stepped aisles separated by colonnades. Architectural features include a portico, narthex, a potential atrium, and an eastern semicircular apse with a synthronon. Flanking the sanctuary were pastophoria, likely a Prothesis and Diakonikon. Mosaic floors decorated the central aisle, sanctuary, and narthex.
