The vault is supported by pillars carved into the stone, on the walls are still visible some Byzantine funerary hypogea that give the place its name: "Via dei Sepolcri".  

The place is inserted in the in the IWB register of the Sicily Region (The Historical Places of Work) - Sector "" Archaeologized "places of extraction, collection, production" - "Archaeologized Geosites"
