These are what the terrace houses are like from the outside...

Some background information on the excavation of these houses

After you are inside, you immediately needed to climb up to the first terrace

Once you climbed up the stairs, you are on the first level/terrace

The first area is the workshop..If you are interested in jigsaws... then you might be able to help...

and this is even harder than the world's hardest jigsaw puzzles, as they are putting back together 350sq m. walls from 120,000 pieces

That's my tour guide, btw, he looked a bit impatient already!

Looking down on the first level

This is the basilica inside a very, very rich man's home. How can they fit this church inside their home?

Frescoes can be found inside the rooms

The marble desk with lion feet

Most of the houses had 2 or 3 storeys, but the upper storeys had collapsed and now only the ground floors are left...
