Plan of the sanctuary near the agora where the famous altar with the three 'baetyls' was found. This sanctuary had two separate parts: the lower one with three rooms (one of which contained the altar), accessed from the agora, the central room being the place of rituals; and the second, upper part, accessed from the side street, with nine rooms on several levels serving various purposes, including keeping animals for sacrifice. The initial phase of this complex dates to the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. (after Fannà).
