Parco Archeologico Contrada Diana
The only worthwhile sight outside the citadel is the Parco Archeologico Contrada Diana, which has revealed part of the original Greek walls (5th and 4th centuries BC) and Roman houses. At the southwestern end of the park is the necropolis, where the tombstones are still visible in the overgrown grass. The park, alas, is rarely open but all of the important finds are in the museum.

Archaeological Dig
Around the Cattedrale di San Bartolomeo are a couple of other ruined baroque churches, but the real area of interest is the archaeological dig where finds from the Neolithic period to the Roman era have been unearthed. You won't make much sense of what's here without visiting the museum.
