In 1965, a semicircular Roman amphitheatre was discovered under what was known as Kim al-Dikka (mound of rubble) after the remains of a Napoleonic fort were leveled for a housing project. The 13 tiered rows of marble seats, excavated by Polish archaeologists aided by Graeco-Roman Museum, date to 2nd century AD. Originally a small theater, the building was altered over time to serve as an assembly hall. A couple of sections of original mosaic floor are on view. Other excavations are still underway. To the north lie brick ruins of a Roman bathing complex. A series of basins and channels reveal water would have passed through the heating system to marble covered baths. To the east lie ruins of a residential area dating from 1st century AD where the Villa of the Birds, a colorful 9 paneled mosaic was uncovered.
