Today, the castle city of Servia is an extended archaeological site, the greater part of which has never been excavated. The archaeological information about the Byzantine city derives from the existing monuments and the limited excavations near them during restoration works. A visitor cannot have a clear understanding of the archaeological site, not only due to the lack of archaeological documentation of this extensive site but also because of the problematic access to a large part of it, despite the improvements that have been made over the years by the Ministry of Culture for the restoration of several monuments of Servia.

The modern cobbled road that runs through the archaeological site starts at the car park, i.e., outside the Byzantine walls, near the church of Agioi Anargyroi. The route of the cobbled road passes through the outer walls of the city and enables the visitor to visit three of the main monuments of the city – the three-aisled cathedral, the church of Agioi Theodoroi, and the church of St John the Baptist – before reaching the citadel of Servia. This route takes about thirty minutes and includes mainly monuments of the middle and late Byzantine period.

Along this route, the visitor can see the surviving parts of the outer fortification enclosure and the middle walls of Servia, as well as many traces of architectural remains of various buildings scattered throughout the castle. In addition to the three standing churches mentioned above, five other smaller churches in ruins have been found within the walls, which have not been adequately studied and restored.
