This Aetolian city is the site of a very sacred shrine to Artemis Laphria (8th-3rd centuries BC). The heroon is now clearly identified from its ground plan as a gymnasium. It was built by the inhabitants of the city in 110-100 BC and included a chapel with an altar in honor of the citizen Leon. It features two sarcophagi in the shape of funerary beds in which were found urns containing ashes.
