Polizzello archaeological site, Archaeological site in Mussomeli, Italy.
The Polizzello archaeological site occupies two plateaus on a hill at 877 meters above sea level in the Province of Caltanissetta, Sicily.
The settlement developed through three phases from the 19th century BC, reaching its peak between the 8th and 6th centuries BC with monumental structures.
The excavations revealed circular buildings called Sacelli, used for religious ceremonies, along with a residential complex known as the House of Temenos.
The archaeological site maintains a single access point from the eastern side, following the original layout of the ancient settlement.
Archaeologists discovered a Cretan helmet and a clay figurine of an ithyphallic warrior, which represent significant findings from this Sicani settlement.
