Peristyle Courtyard

Peristyle Courtyard

A view of the Peristyle Courtyard from near the entrance on the east side of the compound looking west.

The Peristyle Courtyard is almost square (53 x 56 feet).  It was open to the sky in the center and surrounded on all four sides by covered porticos.  Notice the elaborate cut stone flooring—some of which has been reconstructed.
