The first [[church]] attested in Neapolis was a small building that was probably originally a small prayer house. Around 343, a [[basilica]] dedicated to Paul was built, as identified by a mosaic on the pavement. During the later centuries, the town possessed a [[cathedral]] that at the time rivaled the churches in [[Constantinople]].
