Remains of a fortified settlement and a castle above the village Spileo in the Gevena area, in Pindos mountains.
The wall is from the Byzantine era but there are many traces from the Hellenistic and the Roman periods.
The time of construction is not known exactly. We only know that there was an ancient village there that was expanded and fortified by the Byzantines.
