Polizzello archaeological site, Archaeological site in Mussomeli, Italy.

Polizzello archaeological site spans two plateaus on a hilltop in the Province of Caltanissetta, Sicily. The location sits at about 877 meters in elevation and displays remains of a settlement with multiple building types from different historical periods.

The settlement began in the Bronze Age and developed through multiple phases into the Iron Age, reaching its height between the 8th and 6th centuries BC. During this period, the first monumental structures emerged that defined the site's center.

The site contains circular structures called Sacelli used for religious ceremonies and a residential complex known as the House of Temenos. These spaces reveal how the ancient inhabitants organized both their spiritual and everyday life.

The site sits on a hilltop and features a main access point from the eastern side, following the original layout of the ancient settlement. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for the elevation and exposure, as the location offers little shelter.

Among the finds from the circular sacelli are the Polizzello helmet, of Cretan workmanship, and a clay figurine of an ithyphallic warrior known as the Warrior of Polizzello. A 2022 archaeogenetic study of 19 individuals buried in the necropolis between the 9th and 8th centuries BC found a homogeneous genetic cluster, largely continuous with earlier Sicilian Bronze Age populations.
