The basilica building at Marialba has been known since the excavations carried out by the researchers Helmunt Schlunk and Theodor Hauschild of the German Archaeological Institute in Madrid in 1968-1970, who described it as one of the first martyrial basilicas in Hispania. However, many details of the complex are still unknown. The new archaeological research aims to determine its origin, extension and function in each of the construction phases from the 4th to the 14th century, with different uses of the space, from the initial aula, successively converted into a mausoleum, a baptismal church and a funerary area.

Abstract: The basilica building at Marialba has been known since the excavations carried out by the researchers Helmunt Schlunk and Theodor Hauschild of the German Archaeological Institute in Madrid in 1968-1970, who described it as one of the first martyrial basilicas in Hispania. However, many details of the complex are still unknown. The new archaeological research aims to determine its origin, extension and function in each of the construction phases from the 4th to the 14th century, with different uses of the space, from the initial aula, successively converted into a mausoleum, a baptismal church and a funerary area.
