Colonial Forum

Impresiona escontrárselo entre bloques de pisos. Debería estar mejor cuidado.

This was the main commercial Forum during the Roman period, and consisted of an impressive porticoed square containing rows of shops, taverns and other commercial buildings.
Today, the site includes some impressive columns, and several arches which would have contained shops and taverns. Around these are the rather more basic remains of houses and other buildings, with features such as water cisterns, olive and wine cisterns and other features of domestic life.
The site is situated in the western half of the modern city, close to the railway station and is surrounded by incredibly dreary blocks of flats, separated from the remains by an ugly concrete screen. The site is split in half by a modern road, which you cross by a small footbridge.
