    Summary (English)

    • The excavations carried in the ancient city of Phoenice from the 26 August until 6 October 2003, were concentrated in the eastern part of the acropolis, where the basilica is located. The excavations brought to light some very interesting data regarding the structure and shape of the monument. Thus in the northern part of the monument wall fragments relating to the cella / naos of the temple were discovered and which later transformed into elements of the baptistery. The wall was built with waste stone bonded with a very strong material. Excavations were also undertaken in the area between the basilica and the church and here interesting information relating to the transformation of courtyard F was recovered. Besides the excavation, restoration interventions were also undertaken, mainly in the area of the temple. The cella was covered with a temporary shelter and the walls cleaned. The same procedure was undertaken for the doorstep south of the temple.
