Castiglione di Paludi, Archaeological site in Paludi, Italy.

Located on a hill 8 kilometers from the Ionian Sea, the site contains stone walls, circular towers, and a theater carved into rock.

The archaeological complex includes an Iron Age necropolis from the 9th-8th century BCE and a fortified center from the 4th-3rd century BCE.

Excavations revealed terracotta votive deposits outside the main gate, indicating the presence of a religious worship area for ancient inhabitants.

The archaeological park, reopened in 2016 after restoration works, offers visitors access to ancient residential buildings and defensive structures.

Inscriptions in Oscan language on roof tiles suggest this was a Bruttian settlement, possibly identified as the ancient city of Cossa.
