Large Neolithic settlement of the 7th, 6th and 4th millennium BC. Houses with stone foundations and brick superstructures, streets and small squares, extend in and out of concentric protective enclosures. The houses outside the citadel betray urban planning. Inside the acropolis, a "mega-shaped" building and the "ceramic workshop" with a portico stand out. The settlement was destroyed by fire and abandoned around 4400 BC. It was re-inhabited in a limited area 500 years later, during the latest Neolithic period (4th millennium BC), when the acropolis was surrounded by three superimposed fortified enclosures and a "mega-shaped" central building was built. The settlement continued to be inhabited until the 2nd millennium BC. The findings are exhibited in the Museums of Volos and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
