Information
The greatest archaeological evidence of the hill of the Serpent are those attributable to the pre-Roman Daunio settlement (VII - IV sec. a.c.). The area on which the archaeological site insists was affected in the fifth century B.C. by the construction of a large building for public and religious meetings, while the residential settlement was abandoned at the end of the fourth beginnings of the III, sec. a.c. and the hill continued to be used as a necropolis.
Of great interest is the wide paving with river pebbles with geometric designs of the sanctuary of late ancient age, as well as the chamber tombs of the necropolis (of the Princess, the Warrior, the Glass Cups), which have returned rich grave goods, partly exhibited in the City Museum.
