The episcopical palace
Convert HTML to PDF

In the early Christian period Amphipolis was the seat of a bishop, as is evident from the part of a large rectangular building unearthed behind the conch of Basilica I; this had walls 1.30 metres thick and has been identified as an episcopal palace. An incorporated circular structure measuring 2.10m in diameter was discovered in the northwest corner of this building, and three oblong rooms in the southwest. Traces of hydraulic plaster on the walls and floors of the latter indicate that they probably served as cisterns.
