Pallanum, Archaeological site in Tornareccio, Italy.
Located 900 meters above sea level at Mount Pallano's summit, Pallanum features extensive megalithic walls stretching 160 meters along the eastern ridge.
The settlement served as a central location for the Lucanian tribes until their defeat by Scipio Barbatus in 298 BC during Roman expansion.
Archaeological excavations in 1971 near Tornareccio revealed a limestone warrior statue from the 6th century BC, indicating advanced artistic practices.
The University of Oxford collaborates with the Archaeological Office to conduct research and provide guided tours of the ancient fortification structures.
The fortress includes three strategic entry points called posterulae, positioned specifically near the most accessible sections of the defensive walls.
