The excavations in the area started in 2009 and have uncovered Roman baths, also restored, a Roman temple of the three nymphs, patrons of the healing waters and various artifacts from the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. 

Besides the Suleiman and the Roman baths, the complex will also include a museum, displaying the various artifacts.
