The
fortified settlement
of the Late Classical and the Hellenistic periods, located at
Paramythia,
on the slopes of Mt. Corilas, is identified with the ancient city of Elea.
The city was enclosed by a strong
polygonal wall,
1550 m. long, with the main
monumental gate
on the east side. The remains, revealed so far by the excavations, belong mainly to public buildings,
such as
stoas,
a
small temple
and the Hellenistic theatre, which delineated the
area of the city’s agora.
