On the Street of Facades is the theatre, a semi circle with 3,000 seats carved into the side of a mountain at the base of the High Place of Sacrifice. Further down is the Colonnaded Street where a public fountain once fed by water channelled from the Sig sits near a Byzantine Church. The remains of temples like this one are a bit further up the mountain.
