Forre laviche del Simeto, Volcanic gorges in Bronte and Adrano, Italy.
The Simeto River carved deep basalt gorges with walls reaching heights between 5 and 15 meters through ancient Etna lava flows.
The Saracen Bridge, built on Roman foundations and modified during Aragonese rule, stands as a testament to multiple construction periods across centuries.
The territory preserves traditional Sicilian agricultural practices with orchards, pistachio groves, and citrus cultivations along the riverbanks.
The natural reserve extends across 1,217 hectares, with 285 hectares designated as maximum protection zones under regional forest management.
The geological formations known as giants cauldrons were created by river erosion in volcanic rock, forming circular depressions in the basalt.
