At the site “Louloudies”, 8 km south of ancient Pydna-Kitros, archaeologists excavated an impressive early-Christian complex which comprises a three-aisled church, a bishop’s residence with mosaic floors, houses, warehouses and workshops. The complex and the surrounding settlement were built in the late 5th century by the people of Kitros who deserted the town after it was conquered by the Goths. The complex was expanded in the early 6th century with facilities for the production of olive oil and wine, but it was destroyed by a strong earthquake in the same century. The settlement was ruined by another earthquake in the 7th century and was deserted by its inhabitants who moved to Kitros and other areas. Under the stratum of the early-Christian complex, excavations brought to light 2nd-3rd century Roman baths, and a rich villa of the 4th century with wonderful mosaic floors. This site was probably inhabited since ancient times, because it was a well-known resting point on the route from Thessaloniki to Tempi. The excavations also revealed 6th century graves with significant wall-paintings, vessels, glass objects and iron tools, glass ovens, architectural members from an old temple, jars for olive oil and wine, and other finds which give important information about the social and economic life during the early-Christian times in the region of Kitros and Pieria.
