Archaeological excavations reveal the architectural layout of the monumental stoa, an acropolis, and other segments from the settlement [1].

It is located at a dominant strategic position above the Gevgelija Plain, Gevgelija, and the Vardar River [1]. The Vardar River surrounds the ancient town's northern and eastern border [1]. The lowlands of the Gevgelija Plain stretch west and south of Vardarski Rid [1]. The site consists of two hills, one hill is taller and steeper, and the other is shorter [1].
