Tips

The ancient quarries of Petrore were built with a different technique, in fact there are no excavation wells, here the limestone deposit is outcropping. In this case we speak of "ingrottamenti".
If you enter inside but already stopping outside the caves you can see, from the breakthroughs of some vaults, various glimmers of light that illuminate these cavities.
On the other side of the road, between rocks and dry grass, there are various traces of small ancient open-air quarries.
Mysterious place to visit 😉
