Community Church

The Community church of the Roman Catholic population with a high chancel and a bench for priests served for mass celebrations. Over an area of 140 square metres, the church floor was covered by five-coloured mosaics with ornaments and birds pictures (today exhibited in the Archaeological Museum in Globasnitz). This is the largest mosaic surface deriving from the early Christian period in Austria. The church hall is linked with a sacristy, a cistern and anteroom for the non-baptized people.
