A fortified acropolis, discovered in 1989 on the Vigla hill south of the modern Greek town of Hagios Nikolaos (Plagia Community, Palairos Municipality). As yet unexcavated, monumental stone remains as well as pottery of the 5th/4th centuries BCE have been reported at the site. Some scholars have suggested that the attested city of Sollion could have been located here.
