The Crusader/Ottoman tower sits high atop the hill,lower part of the walls are built of reused antique spolia, including a sarcophagus with decorative carvings. Much of the town itself has been excavated, revealing Jewish homes along a main cobblestone street. Several images have been found carved into the stones of the street, including that of a menorah,and another image that resembles some ancient game reminiscent of tic-tac-toe. Jewish ritual baths, have been found as well, identified by the steps leading to the bottom, carved out of the earth along with the rest of the bath. The Roman theater sits on the northern slope of the hill, and is about 45 m in diameter, seating 4500. Most of it is carved into the hillside, but some parts are supported by separate stone pillars. the Nile House Mosaic A modern structure stands to one side of the excavations, protecting the remains of a 5th century public building, with a large and intricate mosaic floor.
