The city has a Temple of Zeus Olbius, a Temple of Tyche, ruins of a nymphaeum, a theatre and a monumental city gate.
The 2nd century BCE Temple of Zeus Olbius measures 39m by 21m and had 12 by 6 Corinthian columns, most of which still stand, although most of the inside vanished when it was converted into a church.
A little to the north is the city's necropolis.
