On April 18 and 19, 2025, museums will be open for visits (www.icemtl.ro). On April 20 and 21, 2025, museums will be closed.

Located in the northeast of the village Niculiţel, Museum Street no. 1, the monument consists of a basilica elevated at the end of the 14th century, under Emperors Valens and Valentinianus and rebuilt in the reign of Theodosius II in the early 5th century – over a Palaeo-Christian crypt. The crypt – covered by a hemispheric dome with pendants, housed two superimposed martyr tombs: în the lower level there were the remains of two martyrs with unknown names. At the top level, in a collective coffin, there were the remains of four martyrs whose names: Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis and Philippos as martyrs – Martyres hristou – are recorded on the walls of the crypt.
