This monumental structure was 16-sided with strong wall 6 feet wide. Inside a building a row of radially positioned column bases was found. Eastern parts of this building were already excavated during the late sixties but its characteristics remained unrecognized. Due to the recent research it could be stated that north-eastern entrance was positioned on that side. Besides this, an entrance from southern side, leading to central communication in the palace complex was supposed. Inside building N dated by the coins in the first decade of the 4th century numerous fragments of porphyry busts, and lead seals were found. There is a high probability that originally those busts stood along the walls in the building. Lead seals with different representations once sealed official documents which were probably stored in the same building. In that way we can assume that building N was an official building for documents storage in the central part of the Imperial Palace complex. It underwent serious, most probably intentional destruction, somewhere in the second half of the 4th century. On top of it new structures and smaller square were created.

The building has a rectangular base, of a northeast-southwest orientation, with the discovered part measuring 20.90 x 30.90 m. What is distinguishable within the asymmetrical base is an entrance, along with eleven rooms, two of which have apses, and a peristyle, i.e. an inner courtyard with a roofed corridor surrounding it which connects all the rooms of the building. During the archaeological excavations, entrance thresholds and extremely well preserved mortar floors with mortar skirting were noted in most rooms, along with traces of fresco painting on the walls and mosaic floors, executed in the opus tesselatum technique, observed in several rooms, the peristyle and the encompassing corridor. The discovered mosaic fragments are decorated with geometric m...
