Modern Description: On top of a hill, named Kastri, ca. 700m. northeast of Rigani ruins of a fortified acropolis can be seen. Only the eastern slopes of the hill are walled, since the other sides are naturally protected. The site is strategically situated, controlling the passages between Aitoloa and Eurytania, to the east, through the valley of Inachos river, a tributary to Acheloos. House remains can be seen inside the acropolis.
