Description
This necropolis has several different funeral buildings: tombs, funeral monuments, columbaria, mausoleums, and burials. 15 mausoleums were discovered there, and 14 of which are all next to each other. When cremation was popular many niches were created to house the urns of the dead. Then later the same places that housed the urns would now house tombs. The buildings would be decorated with stuccoes and paintings.
