Pizzo Caduta Archaeological Site
Pizzo Caduta is located along the coast line west of Licata and includes a vast area of limestone cliffs jutting out into the sea with deep cracks and natural crevasses. On the north side of the Pizzo and on the east side there are about 9 circular cave tombs. Traces of a probably inhabited structure have been found consisting of cavities dug into the rock (see exhibition panel of the archaeological museum of Licata). The ceramic finds, including pottery from the proto-Corinthian age, are now on display at the Archaeological Museum of
Licata.
