Necropolis of Cassibile

Syracuse, Italy

The Necropolis of Cassibile is a large archaeological site in the Province of Syracuse, Sicily, located near the towns of Avola and Cassibile. The site contains a very large graves system situated inside several ravines; the largest of them is called "Cavagrande" (transl. "Large Ravine"). About 2,000 graves carved out of the rock have been found; they are dated from the 11th to the 9th century BC. This necropolis gives the name to a precise period of the Sicels' civilization.
