Description

Two photographs.

In the first photograph, the foreground is the ruins of a building with its columns and part of its wall. Behind this is the main room, the storage rooms and the meeting rooms of the library, which are below the north wall of the complex.

The second photograph shows the buildings, where the back wall of the big building is reinforced with modern poles. Many believe that this building, the biggest of the five, was the library proper.
