Frandanisi
Late ancient necropolis.
On the top of a hill between Frandanisi di Sotto and Frandanisi di Sopra, a late ancient necropolis has been reported, consisting of around thirty pit tombs dug into the rock, violated in ancient times. They must all refer to a small settlement that arose nearby, traces of which have not yet been identified.
