Cava Putrisino: Between Nature and History - SR

January 22, 2023
Connecting with nature becomes even more profound as we walk through valleys, rivers, forests, and historic sites where human presence has left ancient traces. During this walk, we will visit archaeological sites from the Byzantine/Arab period, including the Basilica di San Marco, which partially collapsed due to earthquakes. In the same valley, we will encounter catacombs and cave dwellings known as Dieri. Our route winds through Cava Putrisino and Cava Manghisi, perfect places to savor nature in all its diversity and listen to its slow, magical rhythm in one of the most beautiful spots in the Iblei.
