The temple is located on a rocky plateau, accessible by a climb up a hill at an altitude of 1,100 meters (3,600 ft). The top of the hill is covered in various platforms, <a href="/wiki/Cistern" title="Cistern">cisterns</a>, tanks and steps that have been carved out of solid bedrock.

The walls of the podium were moved to the east and formed a lateral conclusion of the stairs. The mighty limestone curbs of the former Cella wall, which are distributed on the site, are weathered to some extent to the shapelessness. In 1974, the first phase of the restoration was completed, in which up to three rows of temple walls could be restored. In the middle section of the cella, the stepped base of a raised cult place can be seen.
