Two bronze axes with raised edges were found in the area in 1987 and currently on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Crotone, date to the same facies and, along with a dagger (now missing), were part of the funerary decoration of a high-ranking person.

Recently, archaeology in the Foresta locality has revealed the remains of a small rural building from the end of the Hellenistic period (3rd century BC).

In the historic centre, in front of the current façade of the Church of San Nicola Pontefice, a cemetery with rock-cut tombs, some with multiple burials, dating to the 17th century, was revealed.

The church, in Baroque style, dates to 1600 and houses a thorn from the crown of Jesus Christ, donated in 1498 by Joan of Valois, Queen of France, (wife of Louis XII), to her personal confessor, Father Dionisio Sacco, bishop of Reims.
