Noto Antica & Cava Carosello - SR

November 14, 2021 
Noto Antica is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature. It is a wonderful site to discover and savor. Just past the entrance at the Porta della Montagna in Noto Antica, we will begin our trail. We will walk among the ruins of the ancient “Netum”, destroyed by the earthquake of January 11, 1693: a catastrophe that claimed over 60,000 lives in the Val di Noto alone. It is history to be experienced and understood. We will continue toward the Eremo di S. Maria della Providenza, situated on the southern side with a magnificent view over the valley below. Our next stop will be Cava Carosello. We will explore the tanneries located within the canyon, where a thriving craft industry once flourished. The route is a loop that returns to the starting point, following a path carved into the typical white limestone of the Iblei canyons.
