Situated 3km south of modern-day Locri, the Greek colony of Locri Epizephiri was founded in 680 BC and abandoned in the 5th century AD. The archaeological site is large and quite overgrown, although the attached museum is better curated. Reliefs from the on-site Temple of Marasà depicting Dioscuri falling from his horse are on display at the Museo Nazionale di Reggio Calabria .
