Sinikía Theátrou (the Theatre District) was built from the 2C BC onwards. It contained luxurious houses built around courtyards and was decorated with superb mosaics in lively colours. There is the House of the Dolphins decorated with a large mosaic by Asklepiades of Arados; the House of the Masks, a huge two-storey house, recently restored, containing magnificent mosaics; and the theatre, from the Hellenistic era, which was a magnificent construction.
