[1][2] The fortress is of great archaeological importance, with its roots tracing back to prehistoric times and its peak development occurring during late Antiquity through the early Byzantine period.

[5] Archaeological excavations at the site began in 2005 and continued systematically until 2009, with efforts made to preserve the circuit walls.

Over the course of five seasons, the archaeological team uncovered a variety of structures, including a church with three naves, rampart towers, and two rounded sacral buildings of unknown purpose.

[1] A significant amount of movable artifacts was found, including metal tools, jewelry, coins, bricks, and glass fragments, all pointing to the Late Antiquity period, particularly the Justinian era.

[6] The total surface of the fortress, also counting the circular walls/ ramparts, measures around 1.3 hectares of the inner space of the stronghold.
