Villaggio bizantino Canalotto

The settlement extends along Canalotto valley, featuring multiple chambers carved into rock formations, including Byzantine churches, columbaria, and agricultural processing areas.

The archaeological excavations at Canalotto have revealed continuous occupation from Byzantine rule through the Arab period, when inhabitants constructed an irrigation system.

The site contains rock-cut churches, living quarters, and agricultural facilities that demonstrate the integration of religious practices with daily community activities.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through Casa del Mastro in the Contrada area of Calascibetta, located approximately 4 kilometers from the town center.

The settlement incorporates a qanat irrigation system, which enabled agricultural development through water management techniques in this central Sicilian location.
