The ruins of ancient Minoa, one of the three ancient cities of Amorgos, are found at a distance of 3km. from the harbour of Katapolon, on the southern side of the hill. According to archaeological research and the important discoveries from excavations, it appears that the region around the city, Minoa, was habited during the Neolithic era.
The archaeological excavations also brought to light the ruins of a settlement of Historical years. The ruins of the settlement date back to the 11th century B.C. and according to the historical sources were founded by Ionian settlers. The continuous inhabitation of the region did not allow for the rescue of buildings of geometric years. However, the ruins of a marble temple from the Hellenistic years, placed in the 3rd B.C. have been saved.
In the lower side of the island, in the place Kastri, are found the ruins of the ancient city Arkesini. In this important archaeological space have not been realised systematic excavations. Occasionally they have bean unburied accidental important discoveries, which are looked after in the Archaeological Collection of Amorgos. From the surface discoveries and from the relics of the buildings, it appears that the city grow up the classic and hellenistic era.
