James drew our attention to these buildings,
while Stella could be a resident :-)

262' long, with 12 windows above for sunlight, patients were given hashish, walked in silence
through the tunnel while listening to soothing sound of water from the sacred spring flowing under the floor.

Tunnel ends at the "Healing Center" - built in 150 AD and two-storied, now just a lower floor
which, along with walls, were once covered with marble, the roof with wood.

This was a round building in 6 sections. Patients were given exercises, honey cures, supervised
diets, herbal medicines, mud baths, and could have their dreams analyzed for diagnostic purposes.

They drank from a 'sacred spring' and bathed in those waters, and used the theater and library
resources there.  Great for stress :-)

When we went through the tunnel, we didn't know it led to the famed Healing Center area.  It was
quite an amazing feeling to come out to see the foundations of what must have been quite an
impressive, restful place.

The marble road survived (marble mainly in mid-section of the path) because of protection, from
winding up in lime kilns, by a gradual covering with the silt of spring torrents after the cult of
Asclepios lost popularity due to several sackings.
