The ruins occupy the entire Island of San Pantaleo, which can be reached in just a few minutes by boat from the mainland.

The archaeological area is, beyond the ticket office, the Whitaker Museum, which collects the artifacts found during the excavations on the island.

Among all, the Giovanetto of Mothia, a large marble sculpture of the V century B.C.

The ruins begin outside the museum.

La Casa dei Mosaici, is a  complex of two houses whose floors are decorated with black and white mosaics.

To north, follow a well preserved section of the walls along dirt tracks that once were the main streets of the city, now hardly recognizable.

At the left of the door, along the shore, there are necropolis and the tophet, the Phoenician-Punic sanctuary where most of the pieces were found.

Not far from the door, towards the inside, there is a Punic industrial district, anciently dedicated to the production of pottery and ceramics..
