Very particular rock formation, the top can be reached by a series of steps carved into the rock that lead to an ancient watchtower.

Hiking
The Pietra dei Saraceni, from which the shape of an irregular prism is characterized, is about twenty meters high, accessible thanks to a series of steps embedded in the rock, and on the top of which are the remains of a guardhouse, protected by a low wall partially collapsed enclosure. Despite its name, the stone is not Saracen. Or it is in the sense of things in Sicily, where Saracen defines everything that dates back to ancient times, to a fabulous and imaginary past.
