The triple basilica, measuring about 26 by 15 meters, with three apses to the east and three entrances to the west, and accessed from a stone-paved atrium, was built starting in 450 AD in several phases, using stones from Nabataean and Roman buildings that had been destroyed by the 363 AD earthquake. Although now difficult to make out having been worn away by time the walls of the Petra Church once had images of Mary, Jesus and Joseph in golden glass mosaic stone. Within the Byzantine Petra church there are two side aisles and each has 70 square meters of mosaic flooring which has been well preserved.
