Cava d'Ispica: landscape and history

Cava d'Ispica is an approximately 13 km-long valley cutting through the Hyblaean Plateau between Modica and Ispica. Cava d'Ispica contains Byzantine rock necropolises, including the Catacombe della Larderia. The ancient site of Cava D'Ispica is located in the immediate vicinity of Pietre Nere San Zagaria. This landscape is therefore of interest to visitors who would like to consider landscape and history together.

The water mill Mulino ad acqua “Cavallo d’Ispica” is an example of rural craftsmanship from the 18th century. The mill thus brings rural craftsmanship into focus as a further historical aspect alongside the landscape and archaeological evidence.

Museums and historic sites

The Mulino ad Acqua Museo in Grotte museum is located in the immediate vicinity of Pietre Nere San Zagaria. The Mulino ad acqua-Museo can be visited year-round; guided tours with local Italian-speaking guides and audio guides in English, French and German are available. German-speaking visitors therefore also have the option of an audio guide in their own language.

The Palazzo Failla palace is also located near Pietre Nere San Zagaria. The Casa Natale Salvatore Quasimodo museum is likewise in the surrounding area. Palazzo Failla is a palace; Casa Natale Salvatore Quasimodo and the Mulino ad Acqua Museo in Grotte are museums.

Beaches in the surrounding area

Chocolate, olive oil and sport

For culinary interests, two activities in Modica and Scicli are available in the wider surrounding region. A visit to the laboratory of Antica Dolceria Bonajuto in Modica provides an opportunity to discover Modica chocolate. At Fratelli Aprile in Scicli, a guided vertical tasting of five extra virgin olive oils is available. Chocolate and olive oil thus represent two different culinary experiences that you can include separately in your excursion planning.

A padel court is available at the Pietre Nere Resort. A reservation via the “Sportclubby” app is required for use. For a stay involving different interests, this activity can therefore be planned differently from excursions involving landscape, culture, the coast or regional cuisine.
