In the centre of the site, surrounded by low pines, lie the foundations of what was once the largest church on Cyprus — the 4th-century basilica built by St. Epiphanios, the influential bishop of Salamis-Constantia. Only the column bases, low walls and floor plan remain, but the footprint is huge: a three-aisled nave with a separate baptistery to the south.
The bishop's own tomb was found here in the apse, and his relics were translated to Constantinople in the 9th century. Look for the patches of original mosaic flooring still preserved between the column bases, and for the marble revetment fragments in the south aisle. It is one of the quieter corners of Salamis and rarely has other visitors.
