Cava d’Ispica

The valley stretches across 13 kilometers between Modica and Ispica, featuring numerous caves, gorges, and rock formations shaped by flowing water.

The site contains burial grounds from the 14th century BC, followed by continuous habitation through various periods including Bronze Age settlements and medieval communities.

The rock-cut Church of San Nicola preserves Byzantine frescoes, while the Catacombs of Larderia demonstrate centuries of human occupation in rocky dwellings.

The archaeological park offers eight-hour guided tours starting at 350 euros per group, with additional costs for monument entrance fees and transportation.

The Parco della Forza section combines prehistoric, Greek, Roman remains with a medieval town's ruins, all destroyed by the 1693 earthquake.
