캄포벨로 디 마자라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

from these quarries they extracted the calcarenite used to build the site of Selinunte, which is about ten kilometers away. A place where time stopped at the beginning of the 5th century, when it was suddenly abandoned.

The asphalt is very bad in places, but you can find your way. It's a great route with little traffic.

The Cave di Cusa offers a very special atmosphere that takes you straight into the ancient world. As you wander through the ruins of this old quarry, you will witness the unfinished work of the ancient Greeks. It is almost as if the workers are on their lunch break, so well preserved are the huge column blocks that were hewn out of the limestone here over 2,500 years ago to later be used in Selinunte. The quarry was opened in the middle of the 6th century BC to provide building material for the magnificent temples in Selinunte. What is particularly exciting is that when Selinunte was destroyed by the Carthaginians in 409 BC, the stonemasons abruptly stopped their work - and you can still see it that way today. Gigantic column parts lie scattered around as if time had simply stood still. If you feel like exploring, you can explore the unfinished columns and take in the dimensions of the ancient construction projects. The surrounding area itself offers an open, hilly landscape that invites you to linger. Sometimes the official entrance is closed, but don't worry - there is a path to the right that leads into the area, with no climbing required! Also pay attention to the local regulations, as this historic site is part of the archaeological zone of Sicily.

The entrance is often closed. However, a dirt road to the right leads into the area without having to climb.

Garden with majestic and secular trees in the center of Mazara, right in front of the sea

This beautiful nature reserve is located near Mazara del Vallo and there are various lakes.

Landscape observed from the SP 56 Campobello di Mazara - Menfi. In the background is the Foce Belice Oriented Nature Reserve.

The park consists of a variety of very, very old gum trees. It's much cooler underneath. A great place to take a break in the shade.
