Between the end of the 6th and the beginning of the 5th century BC, the organization of the urban space was structured along a main street running east-west, paved with large basalt slabs and intersected by narrow perpendicular streets, along which the houses are located.
The contemporary necropolis yielded funerary furnishings with figurative ceramics of Greek type, gold and amber jewelry, and Greek-style armor. These are the tombs of those Basileis (kings) mentioned in ancient sources.
From the first half of the 4th century BC, the site of the Lucanian settlement was established, inhabited until the first quarter of the 3rd century BC, characterized by monumental fortifications made of squared blocks and city access gates. Inside the walls, residential neighborhoods that overlap those built in the 6th century BC can be visited.
Noteworthy is an important experimental archaeology project that allowed the complete reconstruction of one of these buildings using ancient techniques.
