The Aidesim Mosaic Basilica Located approximately 200 meters southwest of Oylum Höyük, the Aidesim Mosaic Basilica is an impressive example of early Christian architecture. It was constructed using black basalt stone and limestone, dating back to the 6th century AD. The basilica consists of three naves with two rows of columns on each side and has its entrance on the west side. During excavations, a significant amount of Roman and Medieval coins, column bases, and various artifacts were discovered. The interior of the basilica boasts stunning floral motifs created using five different colors, including red, white, brown, gray, and black. The intricate design covers an area of 800 square meters, with geometric shapes mainly consisting of square motifs and zigzag patterns. Maltese crosses were also incorporated into the design, which is a common feature in Early Byzantine mosaics. Many of the designs on the floor mosaic also feature square or lozenge overlap. The mosaics are said to be in excellent condition, and in order to preserve them, preservation work began a few years ago and was completed in 2017.
