Lost Church of the First Council of Nicaea Emerges Beneath Iznik Basilica

Researchers excavating at the ancient city of Nicaea, located in modern day İznik, in the northwestern part of Turkey, have come across compelling evidence that they have discovered the original church location where the First Council of Nicaea met in the year 325 AD. The First Council of Nicaea was one of the most important events in early Christianity. The discoveries at the site include the foundations of the wall, floor structures, and architectural features. In the view of the researchers, these features strongly suggest that the remains belong to the Church of Saint Neophytos, a structure long debated by scholars.
The excavation is part of the eleventh archaeological season at the lakeside basilica site and has been led by Professor Mustafa Şahin of Bursa Uludağ University. According to the excavation team, the main objective of the 2026 season was to locate the small church mentioned in historical sources as the site of the First Council. The researchers discovered a distinctive floor surface that extended beyond the footprint of the later basilica. This proves that a larger church was built over an earlier, smaller sanctuary.
