About 100m down the hillside, below the section of the Illyrian wall , are the remains of a small early christian church and an ancient temple. There are column bases for Dorian columns at the east and west sides. It is thought it may have been built in the 2nd century BC, rebuilt in the 1st century AD, while the church was constructed in the early 6th century.The copious use of marble in the church suggests that a relatively wealthy small community must have existed here at that time.
