I saw that.  Such a pity, it was a beautifully-preserved building.... or seemed to be.  Other stuff has also since collapsed down there at the southern end.  It's at the bottom of a steep slope and all the water ends up there.  Imagine going up the road in the photo for 20 metres and then maybe 60 metres left (west) - that's where the gladiatorial school is.
