Just outside the city wall there are some remarkable historic ruins. Many of the ruins are from as far back as the third and fourth centuries BC. 

There is a large rock outcropping just at the edge of where the later town now resides. The rock is "tuff" of volcanic origin. It is rather porous and easily (relatively) worked. 

There is a whole settlement carved into the hill on all sides. We were conjecturing what this room could have been. I think it was the mailroom.

This is a Roman amphitheater from about the 3rd century BC.

The next pictures are of necropolis near the rock settlement and amphitheater. They estimate that the first burials were in the first centuries.

Some areas were tombs and some were for urns.
