It is built on a panoramic position, at a height of 100 meters above sea level, it covers a large area and is
wrapped in the greenery of the grove in which it lies, which was dedicated to Apollo of the Cypresses and was
considered sacred, hence according to Pausanias (5 xx II,7) "women who enter the enclosure can neither die
