Remains of a Hellenistic-Roman building at the Cassibile station
Remains of a Hellenistic-Roman building.
Near the level crossing on the SS 115 there are remains of a building (capital and other architectural blocks) from the Hellenistic-Roman period. In the lock opposite, fragments of Arezzo ceramics. The blocks were taken except for one of considerable size, and are temporarily kept in the park of Neapolis. Nearby, a partially buried tunnel (perhaps a remnant of an aqueduct) is a pit tomb from the probable Hellenistic period, excavated in ancient and recently.
