El atrium paleocristiano de Algezares (Murcia)
Abstract
This work is an advance of the results obtained in the first excavation campaign carried out in an area near the Basílica of Algezares (Murcia). The most important novelty has been the discovery of a new architectural complex of palace character, which has a representation room with square central upper end, higher than the rest of the room, preceded by a portico/passage and an atrium with proch, at three of its sides, it has a central part twice as wide as the lateral naves. Both rooms, situated at a different level, are joined up by a nomumental flight of steps that makes movement between them easy and stresses the processional effect. On the other side, an archaelogical exploration (20 hectares of surface) has allowed to locate new factories (of a maintained length that overpasses 30 metres) and it has also permitted to check that all of them, included the basilica, use materials and similar constructive techniques. These findings open new perspectives and involve an important adavance regarding the christian construction of the surronundings of the Basílica of Algezares, reinforcing the hypothesis of the existence of an urban contex in which the church was, until now, its only known vestige.
