Summary

Description
English: One of pictures taken during several visits. Some show the central hall, some other spots, many can be identified bij the GPS coordinates. Across the road from the theatre and agora there is a large area that most visitors seem to overlook. It contains the remains of a bathhouse, some other remains, and the ruins of a large building, called the Byzantine Palace. From the Sapienza University (the excavators) site, Google-translated: "Around the middle of the 5th century AD, after a functional arrangement of the area, in the western sector of the promontory a grandiose architectural complex was erected destined to the civil and military power of the city. Characterized by the presence of a large circular porch on two floors which served as a connection between the two wings of the building, the building also housed an apsed hall and a private chapel, both richly decorated. Most of the existing structures were obliterated or reused during the construction of the new architectural complex; the colonnaded street, for example, was partially closed and transformed into the vestibule of the Byzantine building. The palace was destroyed in the first half of the 6th century AD. and systematically stripped. In the last phase of the life of the city, whose definitive abandonment dates back to around the middle of the seventh century AD, the palace was partially transformed into a production area."
