Originally, the church was destroyed by an earthquake, and in its place was built a basilica, destroyed in the 7th century. Arabs. Modern building (cruciform basilica) was built around the 8th century. The sarcophagus, which originally were the relics of St. Nicholas is located in the south aisle of the church, which is located between the two columns behind the ruined marble walls.
