This rupestrian archaeological area consists of various residential nuclei entirely dug out of the rock, and used from the Bronze Age up to the last century. It opens onto the limestone walls of the Canalotto valley and takes advantage of a perennial source of fresh water. The distribution of the underground rooms on multiple levels is spectacular.
