[FR] Le site archéologique sous la cathédrale Saint-Pierre occupe une superficie de plus de 3’000 m2.

La salle de réception de l'évêque est accolée à la cathédrale sud édifiée vers 400. Elle communique directement avec le chœur. Les hôtes sont accueillis dans un cadre magnifique orné par un somptueux tapis de mosaïque. Cette pièce témoigne des fonctions remplies par le prélat, chef spirituel de son évêché, qui exerce aussi des charges politiques, judiciaires et administratives et reçoit de nombreuses délégations.

[EN] The archaeological site under Saint-Pierre Cathedral has a total area of over 3000 m2.

Adjacent to the south cathedral, built around AD 400, was the bishop's reception hall, which gave directly onto the choir. The highlight of this richly decorated room was a magnificent mosaic floor. The presence of such a room reflects the many functions of the bishop: not only was he the spiritual head of the diocese, he also played a political, judicial and administrative role, and hosted numerous delegations.
