The Schiavi d’Abruzzo archaeological site is located in the Colle della Torre district, at 864 metres above sea level. It stands alongside the country road climbing from the bottom of the Trigno valley to the town. Its panoramic setting dominates the valley below and the Molise mountain chains home to Pietrabbondante.
Two parallel temples, built one next to the other but at different times and using different construction techniques, are all that is visible today. They stand in a clearing terraced by a long wall of polygonal e ashlar masonry, comprising the western edge of the sanctuary. Recent exploration work has made it possible to increase our knowledge of the area, thanks to some important new finds: the monumental altar opposite the minor building, an extensive necropolis on the slope to the south-east of the temples, used from the 10th century B.C. to the height of Roman times, therefore partly contemporary with the nearby sanctuary, and another holy site a little further downhill, featuring a small two-room building abandoned shortly after the social war.
The two-floor mediaeval tower is also visible today, built behind the polygonal masonry wall of the sanctuary. The area owes its name, Colle della Torre (Tower Hill), to this structure.
