Timpone della Motta

The Timpone della Motta is a hill two kilometres southwest of Francavilla Marittima in Calabria, inhabited since the Middle Bronze Age. During the Iron Age it held an Oenotrian settlement, later influenced by Greek colonists from nearby Sybaris. In the second half of the seventh century BC, the Greeks took over the site, transforming it into their acropolis and an important sanctuary. This sanctuary is notable as the location of the first known ancient Greek temples of Magna Graecia on the Italian Peninsula.
