Former quarry along the Lanza. The narrow entrances do not suggest the expanse in the interior, with large vaulted rooms connected by small passages and reflected in geometric perspective games on the pools. Here is the sweat and sacrifice of three centuries stonemasons a sandstone monument of infinite beauty emerged, which is today rightly recognized as a natural and cultural heritage.
