While the presence of ancient remains on Monte Landro was first noted by Adolfo Cozza in 1883, it was only in 2012 that excavations were undertaken. These excavations revealed the remains of a rectangular structure, likely a small temple, with architectural terracotta decorations and evidence for ritual activity.
