Tempio di San Fantino

The site contains an 19th-century church, remains of early Christian and medieval churches, and the crypt of Saint Fantinus beneath the structure.

Following excavations in 1952, archaeologists discovered the ancient crypt where Saint Fantinus, the earliest documented Calabrian saint who died in 336, was buried.

The complex includes preserved wall paintings, Greek inscriptions, and geometric decorations that reflect the religious traditions of early Christian and Byzantine periods.

The nineteenth-century church section now functions as a museum, displaying archaeological findings and religious artifacts from different historical periods.

The underground crypt features a natural spring called Aghiasma, which continues to flow today through what might have been an ancient Roman water cistern.
