Below the belvedere and along the Viale Vittorio Veneto, which continues the line of Via XI Maggio, are remains of the ancient Lilybaeum, including fragments of the town walls. Off the road to the right are the ruins of the Insula Romana, living quarters of the A.D. third century, with a fine animal mosaic in the associated baths. From the end of the avenue there is a beautiful view of the sea and the coast; and from Capo Boeo or Capo Lilibeo, a little way southwest, there are more extensive views northeast over the old harbor to Monte Erice and northwest of the Isole Eàgadi.
