The recent works have finally given a clear view of the defensive circuit, placed to protect a pre-Roman settlement that controlled the passage ways to and from the plain of Sybaris. This program also included the restoration of the medieval tower, the ancient Torre Mordillo, probably of Norman period (XI century AD).
