Unfortunately this could not be found as most of the columns appear to have been used in christian churches and basilicae. Of the port, only a few rocks remain, which give a reasonable impression of the piers which protected the vital sea trade. The Governors Palace appears to have heavy Byzantine overtones. Only about 5% of the city has been explored as all work stopped in 1974.
Near hill of Ras el Mseied. Museum nearby
Note: Damage feared to underwater sites off the coast of Libya, after Gulf disaster.
