All the ruins were great to see, it gives you a real sense of history, they are still gathering the ruins and building them up to what they once would have looked like, I would be interested to go back and see how its changed

Always amazing to walk around in a 2000 year old building. The amphitheatre is in fairly good shape and is still fairly impressive once you get inside. The views out over the ruins of the town are very good and you get a good sense of how big the city was in Roman times. Well worth a visit.
