Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
Faltan paneles explicativos, con detalles de cada habitación, junto a las plantas situadas a lo largo del yacimento. Aun así, la persona situada en el acceso ha sido super agradable y amable. Cabe mencionar que los baños estaban muy limpios.
Un yacimiento único por su conservación, además de las piezas expuestas. Hay un tesorillo numismático muy interesante y completo. Recomiendo al 100% realizar una visita guiada. Parece ser que no recibe tantas visitas como otros centros, lo que puede ser un aliciente para acercarse en esos días que veas que hay más gente en la ciudad (cruceros, etc).
Guía gratuito excelente, en temporada baja muy fácil tener un tour privado genial del templo subterráneo. Estaría bien que hubiese algún panel explicativo más, pero los recursos del museo muy bien. Obligatorio comprar entradas online para reservar el tour gratuito.
