The impressive Roman Amphitheatre was built around the turn of the Era. It fell into disuse, was buried under the city, and was forgotten for many centuries. Relocated in the eighteenth century, it was only excavated and restored from the 1980s. It is now attached to a museum.
The "House of Fortune" (Casa de la Fortuna) is a well-off private residence built in the first century BCE and finally abandoned in the late second century CE. It has been excavated and made into a museum.
Its name comes from a welcoming floor inscription that original read Fortuna Pro[pitia], "Favorable Forture."
There was a street entrance. You can see the restored and refurnish triclinium on the right. Straight ahead is the atrium, where the floor inscription is located.
That floor had nice mosaics. Too bad that squatters built a fire over them late in its existence.
I can add the house's latrine to my collection of ancient toilets. The drain of this one seems to have exited into the back garden, which doesn't strike me as optimal.
I have already mentioned the Roman Forum Museum. The Roman Forum appears to have beeen built over the palace of Hasdrubal, the founder of the city. But there is almost (see below) nothing remaining of any Punic-era architecture on the site now.
The museum contained far too many artifacts to do justice to. This display includes Punic and later pottery and lamps and the remains of a small altar.
Parts of impressive floor mosaics of the atrium of the Roman forum survive.
