On the highest spot, there are the remnants of two palaeo-Christian basilicas of the 5th century that where places that welcomed the worshippers until the pre-Christian years. In the sanctum many sailors had been frequent visitors because they had been travelling to the island in order to transfer marble. The sailors used to engrave on the stepping-stones the names of their beloved ones and theirs, too.
