Detail InformationEdit

The Elenska Basilica or Elensko Basilica is a large partially preserved late Roman (early Byzantine) Christian basilica in west Central Bulgaria. Dating to the 5th–6th century AD, it lies 5 to 6 kilometres (3.1 to 3.7 mi) northeast of Pirdop and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Anton, on the right bank of the Elenska (or Elensko) River.The initially domeless basilica, which features thick walls and defensive towers, had a dome added in the mid-6th century, during the reign of Justinian I. The church was ruined in the early 18th century, during the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria.
Archaeologists have clearly distinguished two separate building periods based on the basilica’s ruins. The Elenska Basilica’s middle and western sections are older and constructed out of brick and crushed stones, whereas the more recent eastern section was built out of homogeneous bricks with thick grouts joined using red mortar. Analysis of the church’s ruins, which are up to 8.5 metres (28 ft) in height,has established that it was a three-naved basilica.
