Scurati Caves, Prehistoric cave complex in Custonaci, Italy
The Scurati Caves consist of nine natural limestone cavities, with the Mangiapane cave reaching 70 meters in height and 50 meters in depth.
The cave system served as a permanent residence for local inhabitants from 1819 until the middle of the twentieth century, forming a small village inside.
Archaeological excavations within the caves have uncovered numerous rock paintings and artifacts that document the evolution of human settlement in Sicily.
The cave complex maintains regular visiting hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain the geological formations and historical features.
The largest cave houses a reconstructed nineteenth-century village, complete with period furniture and traditional Sicilian household items from that era.
