    The Uzzo cave, also known as the large cave due to its size, (45 m deep and 50 m wide) can be reached from the northern entrance of the Zingaro nature reserve, following the coastal path.

    After about 20 minutes of walking, past the first cove of Tonnarella dell'Uzzo, the cave appears to us as a fascinating thousand-year-old mystery.

    A curtain of trees and shrubs protects it from the wind, immediately transmitting to us a sense of protection that our ancestors must also have experienced.

    The Uzzo cave, in fact, has its roots in prehistoric times, as evidenced by, in addition to archaeological research and the objects found, exhibited at the Salinas Museum in Palermo, a series of graffiti engraved on the rocky walls inside, visible to all .

    We enter and the sea outside seems very far away.
