Acropolis Temple
 

 
The Acropolis is located on the northern part of the city was surrounded by walls and watch towers. This location is on a very steep mass. The connection between the city and Acropolis was provided by steps cut into the rocks. The stairs were flattened as a platform which is 5 meters wide and 12 meters long.

There are alcoves for the display of votive articles and a Hermes figure on the east side of the stairs which carved in low relief, and beds hallowed out of the rocks to serve as bases for statues can be seen.
