Ancient sulfur mines closed in 1975. These mines played a fundamental role in the Sicilian economy in the past. They are a sad testimony to the extreme working conditions to which the workers who worked within them were subjected.

I recommend a visit to this area which bears witness to a past of hard work that was important for the area. It is an ancient sulfur mine.
