There were two excavation missions at the site of Koustilya, in 2017 and in 2018, to investigate the remains of a late rural church. The excavations identified the monument as a building for Christian worship. The architecture of this monument (three aisles and an apse and associated rooms) suggests a Christian church. This church enriches the list of rural Christian churches in Tunisia and additionally has some special features: among the architectural components discovered in this church are two fixed ambons built into the masonry. These give this church a particular importance, somewhat unique when compared to other Christian churches in the ancient Maghreb
