From notice on tite: "The sanctuary of Aesculapios, the great god of healing, although it underwent constant renovation is as seen today largely in the form given it in the time of the Roman emperor Hadrian (117-138). Entered by a gateway at the end of the Roman bazaar street coming from the city the courtyard of the sanctuary (ca. 110 x 130 m) was bounded on three sides by stoas and contained the old temple of Asklepios plus two smaller temples, sleeping rooms for the patients, fountains and sacred pools. To the northwest was a 3500-seat Roman theater and at the northeast corner library which served also for the cult of the emperor. On the east of the courtyard was the new temple of Aesculapios constructed in imitation of the round Pantheon in Rome; to the southeast corner was attached a barrel shaped treatment center, linked to the pools in the center of the courtyard by a tunnel; and lastly on the southwest corner was a lavish bathroom establishment.
