Tindari - Residential Quarters

The residential quarters of the town are laid out in arectangular street system. A few insulae (blocks of houses) and tabernae (shops) have been uncovered. Particularly striking is the Casa Romana, a house which belonged to a well-to-do citizen in the first century B.C. (with extensions added in the A.D. first century), with a peristyle courtyard and mosaic floors.
