From the ancient necropolis of the first century remain some tombs still visible, notably that of Germani (the name is engraved on it). These are dug in the ground and you have to go down some steps to reach them. They are sometimes invaded by vegetation. Of Greek inspiration, the necropolis has a triangular pediment, moldings and a characteristic Doric frieze. You will also see the tombs of Modestus, with rosettes and a heavy door always mounted on its hinges. Finally the tomb of Chaireas, which is less interesting.

Très joli site, en très bon état. On peut se promener à travers, et découvrir les vestiges est très imoressionnant.

Ouvrez l'oeil ou vous passerez à côté !
Ce site assez exceptionnel par son état de conservation est situé à l'extérieur de l'ancienne ville romaine, les morts étant toujours enterrés à l'extérieur des murailles de la ville chez les Romains. Il reste des tombeaux impeccables jonchés en extérieur, mais aussi des nécropoles aux lourdes portes en basalte noir, ignorées de l'essentiel des visiteurs... et du coup absolument impeccablement propres et sans graffitis ! C'est différent mais non moins appréciable que les grandes nécropoles à fresques d'Abila. Un bijou !
