Located in the walled area of the old city this museum is a must see. The collection of sacarophagi and other works is amazing with all items having come from within the underground chambers of the necropolis. The building itself is a great example of architectural styles from various cultures. Originally build as a palace for a religious leader no expense was spared at the time for magnificent workmanship. It is easy for persons of all ages to move around this location. Do not miss walking around the town while here. It is a clean and beautiful area of upper style living. The fountain in the square is at the end of an ancient aquaduct.
