This UNESCO World Heritage site preserves an extensive archaeological park featuring a 1st-century forum, a massive river port with stone quays, and a unique Roman necropolis. Visitors can explore well-preserved mosaic floors in residential domus and early Christian structures that illustrate the city's transition from a pagan military outpost to a significant center of early Christianity.
