This huge square covered 7 hectares or 10 city blocks the centre of the city, built in the last quarter of the 4th century BC. The agora was surrounded by the shaded colonnades of stoas, and streets of enclosed houses with frescoed walls round inner courtyards.

Designed on a grid plan, it consists of parallel streets which intersect at right angles and form a grid of eight rows of rectangular blocks. While there are no tall building-like structures to see other than a few columns, a large swath of the city has been unearthed, exposing the foundations (and floor-tile artwork) of entire city blocks. Allow about 30-45 minutes to see the highlights south of the Agora, 60-90 minutes to explore the whole site.
