This was the oldest Greek colony in Italy and a major religious centre. At the side of the rock, only re-discovered in the mid-20th century, is the cave of the Sibyls, a long trapezoid gallery running under the side of the hill, with alcoves for light (and sound) along one side. The acoustics are startling, magnifying every sound the pigeons make as they blunder into their holes. The sibyl sat at the far end, over fumes from a sacred fire, uttering prophesies for the people gathered outside, listening at the light wells.
