About Sandanski Episcopal Basilica and Archaeological Museum

The Episcopal complex with basilica lies in the centre of Sandanski, in the north-eastern part of the ancient town of Parthicopolis, where many early Christian churches were built. Its floor mosaics and walls have been preserved under a protective roof.

The Archaeological Museum is built over the foundations of the Basilica of Bishop John. Systematic excavations began in 1960 and uncovered the early Christian town; the museum shows sculpture, inscriptions and finds from the area.
