Poggio delle Scopettate archaeological site
Poggio delle Scopettate, whose nature is limestone, has two stone quarries on the south-west side, for which a large part of the promontory has been excavated. On the top of the latter, the presence of ceramic fragments is noted. On the south-east side, carved into the rock, there are two cave tombs, one of which with a semicircular opening, the other with a quadrangular opening. The tombs of the Greek age dug into the rock were not found, as shown in the '93 emergency plan, probably due to a continuation of the works in the quarry. Furthermore, in the SE there is an alteration of the area due to an excavation of the rock. Outside the area, at 600 meters. S / SW, found only one semicircular cave tomb
