Burnt Palace & Martyrs Church

The Burnt Palace was a late-6th-century luxury private mansion destroyed by fire and earthquake around AD 749. It contains more mosaics and there are walkways throughout for viewing the site. The east wing (down the steps to the left as you enter) contains some good hunting mosaics, while the west wing's highlight is the image of a lion attacking a bull. A fragment of a four seasons mosaic is all that remains of the north wing.

On the site is the continuation of the ancient Roman road, which once connected with the road in the Archaeological Park, as well as the 6th-century Martyrs Church, which was destroyed in the 8th century. The site requires more imagination than the other sites around town; five minutes should do it.
