Lake Cecìta rises at an altitude of 1,143 meters and was created in the 1950s by damming the Mucone river. Located in the province of Cosenza, in Sila, it is the largest of the lakes on the Sila plateau, with a water flow of 108 million cubic metres. The lake also preserves an important archaeological heritage, which came to light at the end of the 20th century: the excavations begun in 2004 made it possible to find notable finds throughout the Mucone valley. The oldest evidence dates back to the period of Neanderthal man.
