These remnants were discovered in 1994. First were found simple objects, like coins and ceramic fragments. Then an archaeological action revealed the structure of several residential buildings forming a whole block.

Part of these can be observed by the public passing by. Most of this dates from the Islamic period but some elements are from a later time, perhaps the 16th century, including Portuguese elements.
