The remains of this Byzantine church stand on the traditional site of the synagogue where Paul preached (Acts 13: 14-52).
Recent excavations have revealed a 1st century building under the church that has been identified as a synagogue. A mosaic floor was found in the church with Psalm 42: 4 engraved on it.

St. Paul, together with Saint Barnabas, had come to the city in 46 A. D., and gave his first official sermon in a synagogue in this city. After this visit, due to two more visits of St. Paul to this city, it gained an importance for both church and Antiocheia Christianity world.
