La zona divenne in seguito proprietà dell'Ospedale della Consolazione che affittava l'area ai cavatori di pietra, i quali distrussero quanto restava dell'edificio antico. Gli scavi, iniziati alla fine del Settecento e durati con vari intervalli fino al 1870, rimisero in luce la grande sala centrale -divisa in quattro sezioni- con le sue gallerie.
