Located on the western edge of the terrace overlooking the theater, this building was discovered in 1996. Dimensions: 19.84x19.14m. It consists of four parts: a portico 14x5.80 m which exits directly on to the Sacred Road, the main room with a centerpiece mosaic of white monochrome (12x11.20 m), four side corridors 2.90m wide, paved with brick cubics 5x5 cm, and back to the west, a panoramic esplanade looking on the sea with the same pavement tiles. The lack of drainage system in the main room makes us believe this was a covered building that served as a gathering place for the believers before they go in procession on the Sacred Road. The building is bordered on the east side by a large gully discovered by the French archaeologist Leo Rey. At the rear of each side of the plaza, a staircase allowed direct access to the lower terrace of the theater. The building in its present form dates from II Century A.D. but it had two previous periods, the first, smaller plan dates back to the late VI Century B.C. At the end of the II Century A.D. The rear esplanade is partly occupied by the upper floor of a Roman house.
