The great bath were constructed in the second century and are so well preserved that they now serve as a museum. The imressive and recently restored theatre, The Martyrium of St. Philip-The Apostle of the 5Th. century a colonnaded street erected by Domitian, a monumental gate of the same period, another bath and stretching on for over mile, the necropolis with a fascinating variety of tombs and sarcophagi are the famous monuments of this antique city.
