 Below the curb of a dirt road which runs up the east side of the hill towards the acropolis, there is a chamber dolmen, the shape of which has similarities to structures in Sardinia and Apulia.On the summit of the mountain, Paolo Orsi discovered an ancient city which the archaeologist Piero Orlandini later identified as the Sican settlement of Maktorion, known from Herodotus 7.53.However, the ruins do not seem to predate the 6th century BC, and this makes Orlandini's identification unlikely.
