Description:

Located on the southern wall of the kitchen was a potential cult space. This consisted of a badly preserved square tufa structure, which was perhaps an altar, with accompanying wall paintings. However, due to the bad preservation of the room, only fragments of the painting are visible showing it included a white background with red borders.
