Today there is virtually nothing to be seen on the acropolis; the only excavation which took place on the hill of Magoula, where the acropolis stood, southeast of Nea Anchialos, proves that the site was peopled since the earliest Neolithic period (6th millennium BC) by fishermen and agriculturalists. The acropolis saw its dire destruction when it came under siege by Philip V in the Hellenistic era.
