Quarry of “Servi”
Descrizione
Quarry of “Servi” is an evocative natural gorge nestled in the Monti Iblei, modelled over the millennia by the Tellesimo torrent, which has carved its bottom, creating spectacular landscapes. It lies on the border between the territories of Modica and Rosolini and is distinguished by its typically Mediterranean lush vegetation, limestone cliffs and a still unspoilt environment where nature reigns supreme. This fascinating place preserves important archaeological evidence dating back to the Bronze Age, including dolmens, cave tombs and remains attributed to the Castelluccio culture, attesting to the ancient human presence in this area. Of particular note is the Gorgo della Campana, an evocative natural cavity rich in water and legend. Cava dei Servi is today a privileged destination for hikers, scholars, naturalists and archaeology enthusiasts, who can enjoy a unique experience here in contact with the history and landscape of the Hyblean mountains.
