Dating back to the 4th century BC and dedicated to the goddess Mefite, deity associated with healing waters and the earth, the sanctuary was a focal point for pilgrims and devotees from across Lucania. The remains of the sacred complex, including a large paved square and an altar, still tell the stories and rituals of a bygone era. Today, the Sanctuary of the Goddess Mefite is a place rich in charm and mystery, an archaeological treasure to be discovered and rediscovered.
