Remains of a great gate are to be found in
the southwall and in the north. The former
was reached by a broad roadway ascending
from the valley along the slope below the wall.
There were two gates in the East wall.

A great double colonnade ran through the city
connecting the North and South gates. This was
bisected by two similar colonnades connecting
with the two east gates.

On the west of the great colonnade, nearer the
north gate then the south, are the remains of
a great public building, in all directions
are ruins of other large buildings all in late
classic style. Just south of the acropolis, on
the opposite slope, above the avenue which led
down to the lake, are the remains of a great
vaulted substructure with ornamental
pilasters and cornice on the side.

Upon the acropolis there are no remains
of antiquity but the foundations of great walls
and a quantity of fragments of capitals,
columns, architraves and inscriptions
