The Neapolis consisted of a [[Roman walls of Barcelona|walled]] precinct with an irregular ground plan of 200 by 130&nbsp;m. The walls were built, and repeatedly modified in the period from the 5th to the 2nd century BC. To the west the wall separated the ''Neapolis'' from the Iberian town of Indika.

In the south-west part of the city were various temples, replacing an older one to [[Artemis]], such as a temple to [[Asclepius]], of whom a marble statue was found. In the south-east part was a temple to [[Zeus]]-[[Serapis]]. The majority of the excavated buildings belong to the [[Hellenistic period]]. In addition to houses, some of which are decorated with mosaics and wallpaintings, a number of public buildings have come to light, such as those in the [[agora]] and the harbour [[Mole (architecture)|mole]]. In the Roman period, [[thermae]] and a [[Early Christianity|palaeochristian]] [[basilica]] were built.

To the south and east of the new city was an area that served as a [[necropolis]].
