The site of the ancient town is occupied
by a small Mohammedan village, many
of the ancient buildings have been broken
up to build the poor modern dwellings
but one of the ancient houses is still
inhabited with slight alterations.

The town originally must have been
extensive for the ruins cover a
considerable area.

Church. The church is situated far
to the north. It is an edifice of simple plan,
square eastward with chapels on either side of the
apse. Only the eastern wall with the chapel
to the south and the arch of the apse are
standing but it is not difficult to discover
that the name was divided by two rows of 3
arches each, supported by piers.
The exterior of the eastern wall shows
small round lead windows over
which a moulding is carried in
continuous curves.
