A walking path leads over preserved stone walkways between the ruins and allows access to most sections of the grounds. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as uneven surfaces and loose masonry occur frequently.
Stone reliefs on the door lintels depict dancing figures and mythological scenes in fine detail. These carvings rank among the best-preserved examples from this era in the region.
