The foundations of a Church's wall near the southern side of the Roman Temple in the old site of Daraa province were excavated by Daraa Archaeological Department, Syria Archaeologists said today.
Mohammad Kheir Nasrallah, the Department's Director, said the church, based on the unearthed pottery fragments, goes back to the 5th and 6th centuries A.D.
He added that the 15 m long and 7, 5 m wide church was built in the Basilica style, pointing out that the building date of the church has not yet been specified due to the absence of any kind of inscription.
