Ampurias - Neapolis 
The lower town is entered through the remains of a once massive town gate. Beyond this is a small square, to the left of which are the remains of a temple dedicated to the god of healing Asklepios (Aesculapius), with a cast of a statue which was found here. Adjoining are the foundations of another temple, probably dedicated to Hygeia, Asklepios's consort.

On the far side of the square was a large temple of Zeus Serapis (seen as a fusion of Zeus and Asklepios). From here the broad main street leads to the Agora (market place), near which is an Early Christian basilica. Farther on are remains of mosaic pavements in geometric designs.
