This open site, south of the centre, holds fascinating ancient ruins uncovered by the 1933 earthquake. Its real treasures are the mosaics of the House of Europa , dating from the 2nd century AD and protected by rudimentary shelters. In front of them, there's a section of the Decumanus Maximus , the Roman city’s main thoroughfare, while the site also holds the Nymphaeum , the Xysto and the overgrown but evocative Temple of Dionysos . Across the street stands an impressive 2nd-century Odeion (theatre).
