Late Ottoman village
Built at the end of the 19th cent. on the ruins of the ancient upper town, reusing old construction elements. After resettling the inhabitants in the 1980s, the government decided to preserve the Ottoman village.

From the Decumanus Maximus, the main axis running from east to west and former grand thoroughfare (in the foreground), a wide staircase leads to the west terrace (on the right - see the first tour) and further up to the restaurant.
The restaurant on the top left is located in the former school building from 1920, restored and rebuilt by the architect Ammar Khammash. From there you have an excellent view.
