The Asklepion of Lissos, thought to have been built in the 3rd century BCE. The mosaic floor is in remarkable condition, and the original spring - cool and crystal clear, with a strong hint of minerals to taste - is located among the broken columns and rubble in the middle left of the image. The altar can be seen just beyond the mosaic floor.
