A building that is – probably much - older than the stadion proper was probably a sacred place, where many gods were worshipped. Initially it extended all the way to the running track, but during repairs on the stadion it was diminished in size. During the Early Byzantine ages, babies’ skeletons were placed in amphoras and then in the niches to be left for the protection of the gods.

The seats in front are of the stadion.

Traianeum. There are the remains of a temple amidst an area surrounded by niched walls. There are doors on the easter and western walls. The temple has a podium. Considering the architectural decorations and an inscription found in Arycanda, the building has been dubbed “Traianeum”. Thanks to the difference of elevation on the hillside, a Latrina (water closet) was built on the lower terrace to the south of the Traianeum. It had six rooms in a line.

A large complex held several rooms and inside these mosaics in good condition. It must have been a large villa, I think it was called the "Peristyle house".

Most graves are from the 2nd and 3rd century AD. They come in the form of temples, or are vaults or sarcophagi. They probably had vaulted roofs.
