Temple of Nicholas the Pleasant

The Church of St. Nicholas in Antalya was originally built in the IV century in memory of the saint immediately after his death. The structure has been repeatedly destroyed, and the appearance of the modern temple is the result of reconstructions of the VIII century. The walls of the basilica are decorated with frescoes of the XI-XII centuries, the floor is lined with mosaics with a geometric pattern.
