The baths look like round cement tubs. Each house was built round a private courtyard and two stories high. The crusader fort marks the top of the hill. From the top of 'The Citadel' visitors can check for themselves why the city received its name after a bird. There is a 360 degrees view of the environment.
Interesting antiquities are to be found in the form of mosaics in the Roman and Byzantine villas.
It is not known who the inhabitants were and whether they were Jewish or Roman, but they must have been distinguished and affluent citizens. The mosaics lie in the dining room. The mosaic is expressly laid in a T-shape so the undecorated places could be used for the couches. The mosaical panels show excerpts from the life of Dionysus. He was the Greek god of the harvest, but he is mostly known for being the god of the wine.
