The town consisted of a large collection
of houses all built of large blocks of stone
most of them carefully cut. A great
variety of ornamental lintels and
mouldings are found in the ruins.

The town is particularly noticeable
for the great number of presses which
are found in all parts, but chiefly
on the western slope, showing that
the olive grove to the north is a
remnant of most extensive oil industry
and that the countless ruined
terraces in the district were once
rich with olives.
