A fascinating and beautiful grotto. A sign just before the cave warns of falling rocks.

rough terrain

Note: If you take the (return) path past the Cozzo Mondella, you can easily reach the marble works (is it still in operation?). From the marble works, where the path again heads strictly north, you have to cross a horse paddock (without a gate, but still easy). After that, the 700m path down is relatively overgrown, including thorn bushes. In September 2025, we were still able to walk it quite well. (See photos)

It is an ancient circular stone well, about ten meters deep, located a few hundred meters downstream from the Sanctuary that dominates the historic center of the town. According to legend, after the miraculous landing of the painting of the Madonna di Custonaci in the Buguto bay, following the shipwreck of a French ship, during the transport of the effigy of the Virgin from the bay to the small church on the hill of the town, at a certain point, the oxen that were pulling the cart, thirsty and exhausted from the effort, stopped and did not want to start again. Immediately - the legend says - a spring of water began to miraculously flow from the ground that watered the animals.

Walk the last few meters to the summit

Beautiful spot with plenty of benches. Wonderful view of the bay.

The detour up to the tower is not worth it as it is closed.
