History
Necropolis of Pantalica
The Necropolis of Pantalica is a vast UNESCO World Heritage site in southeast Sicily, where nearly 4,000–5,000 rock-cut tombs honeycomb the limestone cliffs above the Anapo and Calcinara valleys. Dating chiefly from the 13th to 7th centuries BC, the Sikel stronghold also preserves the Mycenaean-influenced Anaktoron and later Byzantine rock dwellings and oratories.
