Basilica of Saint John
Built in the 4th century on the traditional burial site of Saint John, this basilica was laid out in a cruciform plan and once had six domes. Today the site stands as archaeological ruins on a hill above Selçuk, offering a clear sense of its original scale and links to early Christian history.
