THE SETTLEMENT

The settlement was entered through a large gate, which was reconstructed in the 6th century B.C., when the temple was also built. The sanctuary, whose founding dates back to the 8th century B.C., continued to function until the 5th century B.C. although the settlement had been abandoned in around 700 B.C. The temple, built in around 575-500 B.C., is megaron-shaped, has a closed porch and cella, which included the old altar. The deity worshipped here was probably goddess Athena.
