Right at the entrance there is the traditional room for the reception and hospitality of guests (Madafa). In the vaulted hall, which is open towards the courtyard, the larger-than-life figure of a sitting tyche and the inscription mosaic of a grave in the crypt in front of the hypogeum in the western necropolis are exhibited - see the following pages. A staircase (left) leads to the roof terrace.
