It was built in the 6th century, during the time of Bishop Euphrasius and includes baptistery, bishop's palace, mosaics and remains dating back to the 3rd and 4th centuries. The mosaics are thought to be a valuable piece of Byzantine art and because they have been preserved so well the periods of construction and renovation can still be read.
