Mampsis - West Church/St Nilus's

In Mampsis is the West Church, which is built against the town walls. This aisled basilica was built by St Nilus of Sinai about 400, as an inscription in the mosaic pavement of the nave records: "Lord, help thy servant Nilus, builder of this church. Amen". Also preserved are the columns between the nave and the aisles, the apses at the east end and part of the marble screen between the nave and the sanctuary.
