Seleucia (
Lyrba.[3]
Another name for the city in the Middle Ages was Scandalor,portolan maps.[5]
It is situated on a hilltop with steep escarpments on several sides making a strong defensive position.
The Site
There are remains of an agora containing a row of two-storey and three-storey building façades, a gate, a mausoleum, a Roman bath, a necropolis, in addition to several temples and churches.
Because of its remote location, the site has not been plundered for building materials and the area is littered with columns and other items like large grindstones for flour making.
