Noto Antica & Cava Carosello - Trekking Through History and Nature

Among the ruins of ancient Netum and the tanneries of Cava Carosello

Noto Antica is a fascinating destination for those who love walking through nature and history, an evocative place where every step tells a story of the past. Our hike begins at the Porta della Montagna, following a loop trail through the remains of ancient Netum, which was destroyed by the 1693 earthquake.

Continuing on, we reach the Eremo di Santa Maria della Provvidenza, offering a stunning view over the valley, before arriving at the enchanting Cava Carosello, home to ancient tanneries carved directly into the rock.

The return journey follows a path of limestone typical of the Iblei canyons, completing our loop back to the starting point.
