- Pantalica is the archaeological area within the Anapo valley and Calcinara river, in the province of Syracuse, eastern Sicily. Protected by the Pantalica Oriented Nature Reserve, the Anapo Valley and the Cava Grande stream, the site is one of the most fascinating naturalistic areas in Sicily, so much so that UNESCO in 2005 awarded it the title of "World Heritage Site".
Inside the canyons excavated by the Anapo and Calcinara, the rock necropolis of Pantalica develops thousands of rock-cut tombs dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages starting from the 13th century BC. The remains of the ancient civilization are also represented by the Anaktoron, the ruins of a stone building located on a hill in a dominant position, and by traces of defensive walls and moats. It will be the arrival of the Greeks to put an end to the ancient kingdom but Pantalica will remain inhabited in the following centuries as evidenced by the Byzantine village, the rock churches and the troglodyte dwellings.
Not only archeology, Pantalica, the Anapo and Calcinara valleys are also extraordinary from a naturalistic point of view. The excavated canyons host a bursting nature characterized by a remarkable botanical and faunal variety. A natural paradise for lovers of trekking and hiking.
The visit to the site starts from one of the two main entrances, the first in the territory of the municipality of Sortino and the second in that of Ferla and Cassaro. The numerous paths that cross the necropolis start from here. Among these, the easiest is the one that follows the route of the old Syracuse-Vizzini railway built at the end of the nineteenth century and decommissioned in the fifties. Between tunnels, bridges and terraces, the path winds along the entire Anapo valley. A small museum has been created in the premises of the old station "Necropoli Pantalica". Another path not far away and reachable with a short drive by car, descends to the Calcinara gorges. Walking along it you can visit the North Necropolis, the small church of the Crucifix and the cave of the Bats.
For hikers, emotions are guaranteed. In the summer (Spring / Summer) it is also possible to bathe in the refreshing waters of the rivers. But don't forget to bring food and water!
